The McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor is a spinal microsurgery instrument designed to mobilize and protect spinal nerve roots during discectomy.

Product Description
The McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor is a specialized spinal microsurgery instrument engineered specifically to provide safe, non-traumatic retraction and protection of traversing nerve roots and the thecal sac during lumbar disc excision. Designed with an elongated slender shaft, this retractor allows spine surgeons to work comfortably in deep interlaminar windows without obstructing microscopic visualization or crowding micro-instruments.
Built to provide necessary reaching clearance in complex spine environments, this McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor model retains a uniform blade footprint featuring a 6.0 mm wide blunt blade. The tip configuration incorporates a 90-degree angled blunt working end contoured to cradle nerve roots smoothly, preventing focal traction neuropraxia or accidental dural lacerations. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the instrument offers two selectable shaft lengths: 12.8 cm ($64) for standard corridors and 14.5 cm ($74) designed to offer necessary reach for deeper surgical sites. Its ergonomic handle delivers refined tactile feedback.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, structural rigidity, and complete clinical durability for neurosurgical and orthopedic spine centers worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor?
The McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 6.0 mm wide blunt blade, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. 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 Nerve Root Retractor used for?
The McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor is used in lumbar spine surgery to gently retract traversing spinal nerve roots and the thecal sac medially, exposing disc herniations for excision.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for lumbar microdiscectomy, hemilaminotomy, lateral recess decompression, foraminotomy, and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF/TLIF).
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 Nerve Root Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire McCulloch-Type Nerve Root Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each shaft length is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both lengths as open-stock inventory.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, modified 90-degree angles, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?
In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
