Hey Lamina Retractor

Description

Hey Lamina Retractor

The Hey lamina retractor holds soft tissue away from the lamina during spinal surgery. Surgeons rely on it to keep the posterior spine exposed during laminectomy and related work.

What the retractor does

Posterior spinal surgery needs the paraspinal muscles pulled clear of the bone. Therefore a lamina retractor sits in the wound and keeps that tissue back. Meanwhile, the surgeon works on the lamina with rongeurs and punches.

Retractor only or complete

We offer the Hey lamina retractor in two forms, both 23 cm long. The first option is the retractor on its own. The second option is the complete version. Because the parts in the complete version matter for your set, please contact us for the exact contents before you order.

Where it sits in a spinal set

This retractor sits among the retractors on a laminectomy tray. So you will find it listed with our surgical retractors too. For example, a surgeon may set it after the initial muscle dissection and leave it in place while rongeurs remove bone.

Deciding which version

If you already own compatible parts, the retractor alone may be all you need. In contrast, a new tray usually benefits from the complete version. Send us a photo or a list of what you have, and we will help you choose.

Caring for your Hey lamina retractor

Take apart any separable pieces before cleaning. Then soak and brush every surface, including the hidden faces where tissue collects. Finally, dry each part, reassemble it only after drying, and run your standard sterilization cycle.
