Anterior Lumbar System

Low Profile, Stable Exposure

The anterior approach to the lumbar spine is heavily dependent on the ability of the access surgeon to provide exposure quickly and safely. The Thompson System provides safe and effortless Uncompromised Anterior Lumbar Exposure, eliminating of shift or “rise up” in the wound, and possibly reducing the risk of vascular, nerve, and ureter injury.
