Medtronic X0700011 METRx System 22mm Access Cannula Dilator Orthopedic 5-1/2"

Medtronic X0700011 METRx System 22mm Access Cannula Dilator Orthopedic 5-1/2"

• Model: X0700011
• Dilator / Cannula Diameter: 22 mm — sized to match 22 mm tubular retractors used in METRx procedures
• Overall Length: 5-1/2 inches

The Medtronic X0700011 METRx 22 mm Access Cannula Dilator is a precision-engineered component designed for minimally invasive spinal surgery, empowering orthopedic and neurosurgical teams to perform safe, efficient procedures with minimal soft-tissue disruption. As part of the METRx System, this 22 mm dilator offers the ideal diameter to accommodate tubular retractors — giving surgeons a stable, reliable access corridor while preserving surrounding musculature. With a compact 5-1/2″ length and robust construction, this dilator ensures smooth, controlled insertion and optimal alignment during procedures.

Thanks to the METRx dilator technology, spinal decompression procedures such as microdiscectomy, laminotomy, or foraminotomy can be performed with smaller incisions and less muscle trauma than traditional open surgery. The 22 mm Access Cannula Dilator establishes a secure working channel through sequential tissue dilation, supporting safe insertion of the tubular retractor. This results in decreased operative morbidity, reduced postoperative pain, and faster patient recovery — making it a superior choice for surgeons committed to minimally invasive spinal care.

For surgical teams looking to optimize their spine-surgery instrumentation, the X0700011 dilator stands out as a dependable, high-precision instrument — offering consistent performance, fine-tuned control, and seamless integration into the METRx workflow. Its compatibility with the full METRx System makes it an essential tool for microdiscectomy and decompression cases, helping practices deliver better patient outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and elevated surgical efficiency.

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.
