ARAS® Retractor Instrumentation

The ARAS Retractor is the simple solution for minimally invasive access to the thoracic and lumbar spine.

ARAS provides access minimizes changes in surgical technique with direct visualization and is customizable to meet anatomical challenges in a two-step muscle splitting technique.

TheARAS Retractor’s split tube design is non-ratcheting and expands along smooth rails to achieve the desired opening.

Curved rails on the ARAS Retractor provide greater distal exposure with a smaller incision.

The ARAS color coded retractor guide makes selecting the proper retractor length simple. 

The unique self-locking feature automatically secures the retractor blades.

The ARAS side plates are available in a variety of lengths and widths to prevent tissue from creeping into the surgical site and limiting visualization.
