TeDan Surgical Innovations, Inc. (TSI), a global leader in surgical access systems specializing in spine, neuro, orthopedic, and cardiothoracic surgery, has announced the launch of the Phantom ML3™ MIS Lumbar Surgical Access System. This innovative solution provides a simple, reproducible workflow for various transforaminal lumbar procedures. The Phantom ML3 system was featured at the North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting in September.
Phantom ML3 leverages a lightweight, hand-held retractor frame and minimal components, providing an efficient solution to streamline access to the facet joint and disc space, enabling surgeons to focus on the patient rather than their retractor. With applications in facetectomies, decompressions, discectomies, and TLIFs, the system promotes a versatile solution, accommodating varying patient anatomies.
“Our team is excited to introduce the Phantom ML3, which reflects our commitment to advancing surgical access technologies,” said Danny Fishman, TSI Group President. “This system offers surgeons a simplified approach for transforaminal procedures, while hospitals can benefit from the versatility it provides across multiple lumbar approaches.”
Phantom ML3 allows hospitals and surgical teams to maximize resources by offering easy conversion of the system for use in both lateral and transforaminal lumbar approaches. By leveraging components from TSI’s existing Phantom XL3™ portfolio, the system promotes hospital capital acquisition savings.
