1 McCULLOCH Micro-Discectomy Instruments The premium neurospine retractor system

2 Usage and fields of application: MICROSURGERY FOR LUMBAR DISC DISEASE Special features: Black coated instruments to reduce glare Hinged retractor frame arms if applicable Lumbar microdiscectomy Lateral zone decompression Paraspinal approach to a foraminal HNP Laminoplasty for spinal canal stenosis The problem it solves: Flexibility to do almost any spine procedure, from advanced microscopic-aided procedures to multi-level open surgery. Less-invasive approaches to microscopic repair of herniated discs. Universally appealing due to convenience and flexibility for the surgeon - reduced trauma for the patient! 2
