Sandhu Nerve Root Retractor

The Sandhu 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 3.2 mm wide blunt blade layout engineered to minimize local trauma, 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. An overall length of 24.3 cm (approx. 9.55 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) with malleable shaft alloy for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Sandhu Nerve Root Retractor is used in spine surgery to gently retract traversing spinal nerve roots and the thecal sac medially, exposing the disc space for discectomy.

It is indicated for lumbar microdiscectomy, hemilaminotomy, lateral recess decompression, foraminotomy, and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

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.
