Medtronic MAST QUADRANT™ Retractor System – Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery Access & Visualization Platform

Medtronic MAST QUADRANT™ Retractor System

Premium Minimally Invasive Spinal Access & Retraction Solution

Unlock superior surgical access, visualization, and efficiency with the MAST QUADRANT™ Retractor System by Medtronic — a cutting-edge, tubular-based platform engineered for precision, adaptability, and minimized patient trauma.

Key Features & Benefits

Minimally Invasive Design — Tubular retractor system that dilates soft tissues and uses distracting or articulating blades to retract tissue, reducing muscle disruption and postoperative pain. 

Enhanced Visibility — Compatible with microscopes, lighting, cameras, endoscopes, and other visualization tools. The medial-lateral blade design helps eliminate tissue creep and maintains a clear operative field.

Broad Surgical Versatility — Indicated for a range of spinal procedures: herniated disc repair, circumferential decompression of nerve roots, spinal fusion, implant placement, and removal of nucleus material. Works via anterior or posterior approaches in cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions. 

Comprehensive Instrument Set — Includes dilators, retractors, pedicle access needles, light sources, and accessories to support visualization and safe access. Regulatory Clearance & Safety — FDA 510(k) cleared (K043602) for spinal access and visualization. Intended surgically for use in multiple spine levels. 

Indications for Use

Designed to provide visualization of the surgical field in any area of the body that is opened surgically. In spinal surgery (cervical, thoracic, lumbar), intended to be used for anterior or posterior approaches. 

Ideal for procedures such as herniated disc repair, neural decompression, search and removal of nucleus material, spinal fusion, foraminotomy, insertion of spinal implants. 

Why Choose MAST QUADRANT™ Over Other Retractor Systems

Reduced Tissue Trauma: Avoids extensive muscle dissection, resulting in less blood loss, faster recovery, and less postoperative discomfort.

Improved Surgical Efficiency: Versatile blades and distraction functionalities give the surgeon multiple options intraoperatively without changing systems.

Optimal Visualization: Supports multiple visualization modalities; maintains field clarity even in minimally invasive corridors.

Proven Track Record: Backed by Medtronic’s reputation and FDA/K-clearance, widely adopted in leading spinal centers.
