The Medtronic X0101003 METRx 24 mm × 6 cm Tubular Retractor delivers precision‑engineered, muscle‑sparing access for minimally invasive spinal surgery. As part of the METRx System, this retractor establishes a reliable, stable operative corridor by sliding over sequential dilators — minimizing soft tissue disruption while providing ample working space for decompression, discectomy, or foraminotomy. With its 24 mm diameter and 6 cm depth, the X0101003 offers an optimal balance between visibility, access, and minimal invasiveness, making it ideal for a variety of lumbar and posterior spinal procedures.

Surgeons using the METRx 24 mm × 6 cm tube benefit from the system’s hallmark of reduced tissue trauma. Instead of cutting through muscle, the sequential dilation technique preserves paraspinous musculature attachments, reduces blood loss, and supports smaller, less traumatic incisions. Once the tubular retractor is seated and stabilized by the articulating arm, the surgical corridor remains stable — enabling use of a microscope or endoscope for enhanced visualization and precise decompression or disc removal.

For surgical centers committed to high‑quality outcomes and efficient workflows, the X0101003 stands out as a dependable backbone of minimally invasive instrumentation. Its mid‑sized tube provides sufficient workspace for delicate spinal anatomy work while maintaining the minimal‑invasion advantages of the METRx System; making it an essential tool for microdiscectomy, laminectomy, or spinal decompression — delivering consistent performance, reproducible access, and faster patient recovery.

These surgical instruments are categorized as limited use and are in excellent condition. They may be new out of the original manufacturer's packaging or have similar characteristics indicative of minimal prior use. Despite their limited usage, they maintain an exceptional quality suitable for medical procedures.
