The Minuteman Advantage
Traditional lateral interbody fusion requires large incisions, psoas retraction, and overnight stays. The Minuteman® G3 achieves fusion through a tissue-sparing corridor with a small tubular retractor — enabling same-day discharge and faster patient recovery.
The Minuteman® G3 combines a minimally invasive lateral approach with interbody fusion — reducing surgical trauma while delivering structural stability.
Access the lumbar disc space through a small lateral incision using a tubular retractor. Avoids the extensive muscle dissection required by traditional open approaches.
The small working corridor preserves surrounding musculature and soft tissues, resulting in significantly reduced blood loss and less postoperative pain for patients.
Patients can go home the same day as their procedure. The reduced surgical trauma enables faster mobilization and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional lateral fusion.
The tissue-sparing technique through a small tubular retractor dramatically reduces intraoperative blood loss — improving patient outcomes and lowering complication risk.
Purpose-designed small-diameter retractor provides adequate visualization and working space while minimizing the surgical footprint and tissue disruption.
Minimally invasive access means less muscle damage, reduced narcotic requirements, and earlier return to daily activities — improving the overall patient experience.
The Minuteman® G3 is designed for lateral access lumbar interbody fusion in patients who require stabilization and fusion of the lumbar spine.
Patients with symptomatic lumbar degenerative disc disease who have failed conservative treatment and require interbody fusion for structural support.
Low-grade lumbar spondylolisthesis requiring stabilization. The lateral approach provides indirect decompression via disc height restoration.
Lateral interbody fusion restores disc height and foraminal dimensions, providing indirect decompression for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
The lateral corridor provides a virgin surgical field for revision cases or adjacent segment pathology, avoiding scarred posterior anatomy.
