Retracts paraspinal musculature and soft tissue during posterior lumbar fusion to expose the transverse processes and facet joints for decortication. The deep blade profile maintains a wide operative corridor from the spinous process to the tips of the transverse processes at L3–L5. Spine teams pair this retractor with a self-retaining frame during posterolateral fusion with pedicle screw instrumentation.

Combines soft-tissue retraction with integrated access for a punch instrument during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at C5–C6. The retractor blade holds the longus colli and esophagus laterally while the punch port allows removal of posterior osteophytes from the vertebral body margin. Anterior spine surgeons use it to improve visualization of the disc space before interbody cage insertion.
