The posterior approach to the lumbar column remains the workhorse for exposure of the entire spine, from the base of the cranium to the sacral region, for minimally invasive and larger deformity interventions alike. Continuous evolution of the technique rooted in technique and instrumentation innovation have been constant since its inception in 1944 when Briggs and Milligan first described the approach. Phantom LS Product Series from TeDan Surgical Innovations continues to lead the way in uplifting numerous posterior surgical approaches addressing areas of constant surgical unmet needs. Focused on faster procedure times driven by intuitive incremental product innovations, Phantom LS, HANG 10 and Phantom ML Tubular Systems are the armamentarium mainstay for the surgeon preferring this proven surgical approach.

Phantom XL3™ Lateral Lumbar Access System from TeDan Surgical Innovations (TSI) transforms the lateral surgical retraction approach by eliminating instrumentation fiddle factor through the integration of unparalleled surgical access design elements — all with the focus of elevating the surgeon’s armamentarium performance.
