EndoSurg Plus System
The EndoSurg Plus System is unintech‘s most commonly used system for full-endoscopic spinal decompression. It can be used transforaminal as well as interlaminar on thoracic and lumbar spine.
- Access: transforaminal and interlaminar
- Indications: ventral, lateral and dorsal pathologies, e.g. herniated discs, foraminal stenosis, facet joint cysts, spinal canal stenosis
- Field of application: lumbar and thoracic
System information
The system consists of instruments clearly arranged in a double tray and the endoscope safely stored in a tray, which also has space for the endoscopic light guide.
The set contains all instruments (approx. 22), that are required as standard for endoscopic surgery, e.g. dilators, working tubes, various forceps, chisels, nerve hook, elevator, etc. They are optimally adapted to the procedure and the endoscope in terms of length, diameter and design.
| EndoSurg Plus Endoscope | |
|---|---|
| Working length | 171 mm |
| Outer diameter shaft | 7.6 mm |
| Diameter working channel | 4.7 mm |
| Optic angle | 30° |
Principal steps of the procedure
Endoscopic pictures show transforaminal approach
Access to the target area transforaminal or interlaminar through serial dilation.
Exposing the target area under endoscopic visualization and identifying the intact and untreated bony structures.
Foraminotomy or Laminotomy with forehead reamer under endoscopic control.
Endoscopic decompression with various instruments, e.g. biopsy forceps, biopsy and Kerrison punches, bone chisel.
Free nerve – end of the procedure.
Unique instruments for transforaminal or interlaminar approach
U- and T-type working tube optimized for tranforaminal access.
Tip of fully toothing forehead reamer with rills on the inside for monitoring bone penetration depth.
U- and T-type working tube optimized for interlaminar access.
Tip of partial toothing forehead reamer with rills on the inside for monitoring bone penetration depth and used to protect the nerves.
EndoSurg Plus instruments for decompression
- Nerve hook and elevator for palpation
- Nerve hook bone chisel and curette for boney treatment, e.g. osteophytes
- Endoscopic Kerrison punches with rotatable shaft and various footprint
- Forceps with different tips and sizes available, resilient and durable due to new and patented functional mechanism
