Abstract
A retractor tube device has a retractor tube having a slotted tube body with a proximal end and a distal end. The slotted tube body has a full slot extending longitudinally through the distal and proximal ends. The slotted tube body has two opposing lateral window slots at the distal end. Each window slot is positioned on the slotted tube body spaced apart by the full slot. The two opposing lateral window slots are aligned forming a passage crossing through a center of the slotted tube body transverse to a longitudinal axis of the slotted tube body. The full slot is configured to provide unimpeded instrument maneuverability for instrument placement and reach during a surgical procedure. The two opposing lateral window slots are configured to allow for additional instrument placement and reach during the surgical procedure.
