IMPORTANT NOTE TO OPERATING SURGEON
The surgeon must be thoroughly knowledgeable in the medical and surgical aspects of the device.
Please refer to the surgical technique manual for specific instructions regarding the use of the
SPOTLIGHT Access System.

DESCRIPTION
The SPOTLIGHT Access System is a set of one-piece, reusable ports that allows surgeons to access
the spine by dilation of the overlying tissues in a minimally invasive fashion without the tissue trauma
associated with traditional dissection techniques. The normal, open operative spinal procedure incurs
significant tissue disruption and increased patient discomfort. The SPOTLIGHT Access System is
offered in a range of diameters and lengths to accommodate surgeon needs and access depths.
Each port size comes in straight and anatomic configurations. The SPOTLIGHT Access System also
contains manual surgical instruments, cases, and trays. The instruments are for use with the ports,
along with general disc endplate preparation instruments. The reusable instruments are supplied
non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to first use.
The SPOTLIGHT Access port is available in Non-Illuminated and Illuminated options. The Non-
Illuminated option is a single piece port design constructed of a radiolucent polymer body and
stainless steel rigid arm attachment that does not contain an integrated light source. The rigid arm
attachment at the proximal end allows the port to be connected to a rigid arm that keeps the port
secure at the operative site. The Illuminated option contains integrated fiber optics encased within
a stainless steel body for added strength. The port is designed with two connections at the proximal
end, a light coupler that allows connection of a transfer cable and external light source (standard
Operating Room equipment) for transmittal of light and a rigid arm connection that allows the port to
be connected to a rigid arm that keeps the port secure at the operative site.
The SPOTLIGHT Access System also includes Non-Illuminated F2 washer ports that can be advanced
over a guidewire in percutaneous procedures. The large and small F2 washer ports are single piece
ports constructed of anodized aluminum alloy that do not contain an integrated light source. The ports
have a straight configuration and include a handle at the proximal end. A cannulated dilator shaft and
two sequential dilators are supplied for use with each of the large and small F2 washer ports.
The SPOTLIGHT PL components of the SPOTLIGHT Access System are a set of instruments
designed to provide access to the posterior and posterolateral bony spinal elements. This set of
minimally invasive tools consists of an expandable retractor, the SPOTLIGHT PL, which does not
require the use of sequential dilation, and reusable decortication instruments designed to be used in
a minimally invasive fashion.
