CENTRIC® Expandable Retractor System
- Lightweight, open frame design increases visibility
- Independent blade angulation allows for increased distal exposure without enlarging incision
- Full complement of innovative surgical instruments
The TiBOW Expandable Spacer System with Osseo-Loc® surface technology, provides a micro invasive solution for TLIF procedures. TiBOW offers in-situ expansion, as well as a unique surface architecture, which has been shown in studies to promote bone on-growth. Streamlined instrumentation and implant geometry provides the surgeon minimal tissue and neural disruption while achieving surgical goals, expanded endplate coverage, and restoring patient alignment.
