The Gupta Disc Space Spreaders with Easy-Release Locking Mechanism are specialized orthopedic and spinal instruments designed for compatible disc-space distraction applications. The range includes Small Straight, Large Straight, Small Curved, and Large Curved configurations.

Each variation combines a defined blade width, closed blade thickness, opening capacity, and overall length. The integrated easy-release locking mechanism provides the specified locking configuration for maintaining the selected spreader position during compatible applications.

Available Configurations

Small Straight

The Small Straight configuration measures 8.5" (21.6 cm) overall. It features a 10 mm blade width, 3 mm closed blade thickness, and opens to 22 mm.

Large Straight

The Large Straight configuration measures 11.5" (29.2 cm) overall. It features a 13 mm blade width, 4 mm closed blade thickness, and opens to 25 mm.

Small Curved

The Small Curved configuration measures 9.25" (23.5 cm) overall. It features a 10 mm blade width, 3 mm closed blade thickness, and opens to 22 mm.

Large Curved

The Large Curved configuration measures 12.5" (31.8 cm) overall. It features a 13 mm blade width, 4 mm closed blade thickness, and opens to 25 mm.

Design and Configuration

The spreader range provides two blade-width and opening-capacity combinations:

• 10 mm blade width / 3 mm closed thickness / 22 mm opening
• 13 mm blade width / 4 mm closed thickness / 25 mm opening

Both straight and curved shaft configurations are available in small and large sizes, allowing selection according to the required instrument geometry and working length.

Easy-Release Locking Mechanism

The spreaders incorporate an easy-release locking mechanism as part of their supplied configuration. This feature is designed to provide controlled locking and release of the spreader during compatible applications.

Spinal Applications

The Gupta Disc Space Spreaders are designed for compatible spinal procedures involving disc-space distraction. Selection should be based on the required spreader geometry, blade dimensions, opening capacity, and applicable surgical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

Select the configuration appropriate for the intended application and compatible instrumentation system. The spreader should be handled by appropriately trained healthcare professionals according to the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer instructions.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the spreader according to validated instrument-processing procedures. Particular attention should be given to the blades, locking mechanism, pivoting components, and contact surfaces during inspection and cleaning.

Sterilization and Inspection

Inspect the instrument for cleanliness, smooth mechanical function, and structural integrity before use. Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and applicable healthcare facility protocols.
