The TeDan ML-2000 is a modular, minimally invasive surgical (MIS) access system for spine procedures like TLIF, PLIF, and microdiscectomies. Its key features include a dilator-based, split tube design, four-way independent pivoting retractor arms for precise tissue retraction with minimal pressure, and built-in, cold LED illumination to provide a shadow-less view of the surgical site. The system’s modularity allows for flexible access, accommodating two-, three-, or four-way retraction based on the procedure.
