Phantom AL Anterior Lumbar Surgical Access System

The Phantom AL Anterior Lumbar Surgical Access System is a specialized surgical retraction and access assembly engineered for anterior approach lumbar spine procedures. The system combines a 300 mm diameter central retractor ring with table-mounted support components, pivoting blade holders, and a broad range of interchangeable retractor blades.

Retractor Maker manufactures and supplies the Phantom AL Anterior Lumbar Surgical Access System for hospital procurement departments, specialty spine centers, surgical equipment distributors, healthcare importers, and OEM partners globally. Delivered in an aluminum sterilization box, this complete assembly provides surgical teams with a structured platform for maintaining anterior operative exposure.

What Is the Phantom AL Anterior Lumbar Surgical Access System?

The Phantom AL Anterior Lumbar Surgical Access System is a ring-based, table-mounted retractor platform designed specifically to support anterior surgical access to the lumbar spine. Establishing and maintaining an unobstructed surgical corridor during anterior lumbar operations requires stable, hands-free retraction that can be tailored to patient anatomy and operative depth.

The core of the system is a 300 mm diameter retractor ring supported by two rotatable table clamps and two arms with ring holders. Extension bars integrate into the frame to extend or position the assembly over the operative site. Six ring clamps and six pivoting blade holders attach around the perimeter of the ring, allowing independent multi-axis positioning of individual blades.

To accommodate varying anatomical depths and surgical approaches, the system includes 32 retractor blades (25 mm width) distributed equally across eight length options ranging from 60 mm to 200 mm. System setup and intraoperative adjustments are performed using the supplied 225 mm hex wrench and hex driver tool.

Phantom AL Blade Options

The system features an extensive sizing selection of 32 total blades, all maintaining a uniform 25 mm width while offering eight distinct lengths:

Blade Size (Width × Length)	Quantity Included
25 × 60 mm	4
25 × 80 mm	4
25 × 100 mm	4
25 × 120 mm	4
25 × 140 mm	4
25 × 160 mm	4
25 × 180 mm	4
25 × 200 mm	4

This configuration provides four blades for each depth option, allowing surgical teams to establish symmetrical or asymmetrical multi-blade retraction setups corresponding to tissue depth, surgical approach, and anatomical requirements.

Retractor Ring & Support Frame

The Phantom AL system relies on a modular structural assembly to ensure stability over the operating table:

300 mm Retractor Ring

Serves as the central circular foundation of the system, providing a 360-degree attachment surface for mounting blade holders and auxiliary hardware around the surgical field.

Extension Bars

Two extension bars integrate into the structural geometry to extend or adjust the reach and posture of the main ring assembly relative to the mounting points.

Ring Clamps

Six ring clamps attach directly onto the 300 mm retractor ring, securing blade holders and auxiliary arms at designated locations along the perimeter.

Pivoting Blade Holders

Six pivoting blade holders mount into the ring clamps, offering adjustable, multi-angle blade positioning for controlled tissue retention.

Arms With Ring Holders

Two structural arms connect the retractor ring directly to the table-mounting components, maintaining the frame in a elevated position over the patient.

Rotatable Table Clamps

Two heavy-duty rotatable table clamps anchor the supporting arms directly to the surgical table side rails, providing a rigid, table-mounted base for the entire system.

Tools Included

The Phantom AL system incorporates dedicated adjustment tools to facilitate assembly, blade mounting, and frame locking:

• 225 mm Hex Wrench: Hand tool designed for manual tightening, positioning, and frame adjustment.

• Hex Driver Tool: Specialized driver instrument for fast, precise intraoperative adjustments of system fasteners.

General Setup & Assembly

System mounting and configuration should follow standard operating room preparation:

1. Component Inspection: Inspect all structural hardware, table mounts, tools, and required blades prior to procedure setup.

2. Table Mounting: Secure the two rotatable table clamps firmly to the side rails of the operating table.

3. Arm Attachment: Insert the two arms with ring holders into the table clamps and lock them in position over the surgical field.

4. Ring Positioning: Mount the 300 mm retractor ring into the ring holders, utilizing the extension bars if additional frame positioning is required.

5. Clamp Installation: Position the six ring clamps along the retractor ring perimeter at the desired retraction angles.

6. Blade Holder Assembly: Connect the pivoting blade holders to the ring clamps.

7. Blade Selection & Insertion: Select the appropriate blade lengths (from 60 mm up to 200 mm) based on patient tissue depth and insert them into the pivoting holders.

8. Adjustment & Securing: Use the 225 mm hex wrench and hex driver tool to adjust blade angle, retraction depth, and frame tightness.

9. Final Stability Check: Verify that all table clamps, ring holders, and blade locks are fully secured before proceeding.

Assembly and use should be performed by trained healthcare professionals according to applicable manufacturer instructions, hospital protocols, and the requirements of the surgical procedure.
