Step 3

Slide Dilator #2 (Silver, 13mm) over Dilator
#1.

Step 4

Use length markings on Dilator to determine
appropriate Tube length.

Procedure General Incision Guidance*

Decompression 2cm off midline

PLIF 3-5cm off midline

TLIF, Pedicle Screw Placement 4-6cm off midline

*Note: Will vary based on patient anatomy.

After incision has been made, place K-wire (if
desired) to identify location and initial entry point.

NOTE: Use of Fluoroscopic imaging may be

used to aid in K-wire placement.

Place Dilator #1 (Silver, 8mm) over K-wire and
remove K-wire (if applicable). (Fig.2)

NOTE: Dilator #1 can be used to target the entry

point.

Instruments

Slide Dilator #3 (Turquoise, 18mm) over
Dilator #2.

Slide Dilator #4 (Blue, 22mm) over Dilator #3.

Slide Dilator #5 (Grey, 26mm) over Dilator #4.

(Fig.3)

NOTE: Tubes come in 18mm, 22mm and 26mm

diameters. If using 18mm Diameter Tube, stop
dilating after Dilator #3 (Turquoise, 18mm). If
using 22mm Diameter Tube, stop dilating after
Dilator #4 (Blue, 22mm). If using 26mm Tube,
