The METRx system is a minimally invasive surgical tool used primarily in spine surgery to create a small corridor to the spine. It is a tubular retractor system consisting of a series of dilating tubes that gently separate muscles and soft tissues rather than cutting through them, allowing surgeons to access and work on the spine through a small incision with the help of an endoscope or microscope. This approach results in less trauma, smaller scars, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery for the patient.
