The Medtronic X0101002 METRx 24 mm × 5 cm Tubular Retractor is a precision‑engineered instrument designed to deliver reliable, muscle‑sparing access for minimally invasive spinal surgery. Its 24 mm diameter creates an optimal working channel for spine surgeons performing microdiscectomy, laminotomy, foraminotomy, or other spinal decompression procedures — while the 5 cm length keeps the operative corridor compact and manageable. When combined with the rest of the METRx System’s sequential dilation technology, this retractor enables a smooth transition from soft tissue dilation to stable tubular retraction, ensuring controlled, reproducible surgical access with minimal collateral tissue damage.

Using the METRx retractor tube instead of traditional open‑surgery exposure significantly reduces soft tissue disruption and preserves the integrity of paraspinous musculature. This muscle‑sparing approach translates to smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery times — benefiting both surgical teams and patients. With the retractor anchored securely via a flexible arm, surgeons have a stable, unobstructed corridor to operate with maximal precision under microscope or endoscope, enhancing visualization and control during delicate spinal work.

For spinal surgery centers committed to efficient workflows and optimal patient outcomes, the X0101002 stands out as a dependable backbone of minimally invasive instrumentation. It integrates seamlessly into the METRx System, offering consistent tube sizing, reliable retractor seating, and simplified setup — making it an essential tool for modern MIS spinal practices striving for high‑quality, safe, and reproducible outcomes.

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.
