AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing minimally invasive spinal procedures face challenges in accessing the spinal canal due to the small size of the spinal canal and require multiple incisions for treating spinal stenosis, leading to prolonged recovery times and spinal instability.

⚗Method used

An integrated instrument assembly that combines a portal cannula, portal grip, and trocar, along with working instruments like a bone rongeur and tissue sculptor, allows percutaneous access to the spinal canal from a single access point, enhancing ease of use and reducing procedural complexity.

🎯Benefits of technology

Facilitates minimally invasive spinal procedures with reduced damage to paraspinal muscles and ligaments, minimizing pain and stabilizing structure damage, and enabling faster recovery.
