The objective of Stryker Spine Less Invasive Technologies (LITe) is to replicate the clinical results of the corresponding open procedure. The Luxor Retractor, part of the LITe platform, was designed to provide access to the thoracic and lumbar spine from a posterior approach via a small incision. The oval design of Luxor reduces the medial/lateral muscle retraction seen in some circular retractors, while providing more working space at the level of the incision. Key advantages include: Luxor is made of radiolucent material, which allows complete visualization of anatomical landmarks Silicon sleeve and anatomically-oriented blades prevent tissue from entering surgical site Cobb-style initial dilator facilitates tissue dissection while incorporating insertion safety Large distal span maximizes access at surgical site Oval design maximizes working and visualizations channels while minimizing tissue damage Thin, shadowless lighting component continuous panoramic lighting that conforms to surgical site
