NCT03160170

Brief Summary

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial of the Suction-Integrated Surgical Tissue Elevator \& Retractor \[SISTER\] device to assess:

  • Effects on operative time and efficiency of exposure in open lumbar spine cases.
  • Effect on total blood loss during the exposure part of the operation.
  • Rate of clogging of suction device.
