The Medtronic X1100010 METRx 26 mm × 5 cm Tubular Retractor delivers robust, high‑precision access for minimally invasive spinal surgery — engineered to give surgeons a wide, stable working corridor while minimizing soft tissue disruption. With a 26 mm diameter and 50 mm working depth, this retractor offers an optimal balance between exposure and invasiveness, making it ideally suited for more expansive decompression, microdiscectomy, or fusion procedures requiring ample instrument maneuverability. As part of the METRx System, the tube integrates seamlessly into the sequential‑dilation workflow, enabling controlled, reproducible insertion and retractor deployment with consistent results.

By leveraging a muscle‑splitting rather than muscle‑cutting approach, the X1100010 helps preserve paraspinous musculature, reduce blood loss, and minimize postoperative morbidity. Once the tube is seated and secured via an articulating arm, surgeons enjoy a stable, unobstructed corridor — perfect for endoscopic or microscopic visualization and precise decompression, discectomy, or fusion work. The result: smaller incisions, less soft‑tissue trauma, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times compared with traditional open spinal surgery, enhancing both patient comfort and surgical efficiency.

For surgical centers, spine practices, and hospitals committed to delivering high‑quality outcomes with minimal patient impact, the METRx 26 mm × 5 cm Tubular Retractor stands out as an essential component of a modern minimally invasive spine‑surgery toolkit. Its generous diameter, compact but effective depth, and full compatibility with the METRx instrument set make it a dependable choice for complex lumbar or posterior spinal procedures — providing consistent performance, enhanced visualization, and streamlined workflow to help optimize surgical success and 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.
