Systems and methods for a spinal shield for protecting the spinal cord and dura during surgical procedures
A spinal shield establishes a protective barrier around an exposed spinal canal during a surgical procedure. The spinal shield includes a shield body having a plurality of lateral extensions configured to be positioned over the exposed spinal canal, where each of the plurality of lateral extensions includes a hinge that permits rotation of the plurality of laterally extending legs in only a downward direction. The shield body can define a curved configuration or a substantially planar configuration. Further, the spinal shield can include a handle portion that extends outwardly in perpendicular relation to the shield body.
