The McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame is a 14 cm self-retaining spinal base chassis engineered to provide a stable foundation for microdiscectomy and laminectomy. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with a rigid, non-hinged architecture and calibrated gear drive, it hosts modular side blades and hooks securely.

Product Description

The McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame is a premier self-retaining spinal retractor chassis engineered specifically to establish an unyielding, hands-free operative corridor during lumbar microdiscectomies and posterior spinal decompressions. Built to host modular side blades and hooks, this rigid chassis eliminates visual obstruction under operating microscopes, ensuring stable tissue retraction throughout delicate interlaminar navigation.

Designed with a standard mechanical footprint, this McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame features an overall frame length of 14 cm ($384). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the structural geometry incorporates a rigid, non-hinged self-retaining base chassis framework that resists bending under dense paraspinal muscular loads. Its precision mechanical gear spread mechanism allows smooth, micro-calibrated opening, giving surgeons total control over tissue tension while preserving an open optical corridor.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing neurosurgical and spine centers worldwide with unmatched mechanical rigidity, high corrosion resistance, and complete clinical dependability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame?

The McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. An overall length of 14 cm (approx. 5.5 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame used for?

The McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame is used in spine surgery as the primary mechanical base to mount interchangeable blades and hooks, providing hands-free exposure of the lumbar lamina.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for lumbar microdiscectomy, hemilaminotomy, foraminotomy, posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), and minimally invasive spinal decompression.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating microscopes.

Is the McCulloch-Type Microdiscectomy Rigid Retractor Frame reusable and autoclavable?
