The Medtronic METRx 22 mm × 7 cm Tubular Retractor brings precision, efficiency, and muscle‑sparing design to minimally invasive spine surgery. With a slim 22 mm diameter and 7 cm depth, this retractor establishes a controlled, stable working channel through soft tissue — offering surgeons an optimal balance between visibility and minimal invasiveness. This makes the device perfect for spinal decompression, microdiscectomy, laminotomy, or foraminotomy procedures where a compact access corridor is required.

By integrating into the METRx sequential‑dilation workflow, this retractor avoids traditional wide muscle dissection, instead gently dilating paraspinous musculature while preserving soft‑tissue integrity. The result is a minimally disruptive surgical approach — smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less tissue trauma, and potentially faster recovery times — aligning with modern standards for patient‑centric spinal care.

For surgical centers and spine practices committed to high‑quality outcomes and efficient workflows, the METRx 22 mm × 7 cm Tubular Retractor is an indispensable instrument. It offers dependable performance, reproducible access, and seamless compatibility with the rest of the METRx instrument set — enabling precise spinal work under microscope or endoscope while reducing surgical morbidity and enhancing patient satisfaction.

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.
