With medical technology constantly progressing, it’s important for spine surgeons like Dr. Robert Huang, medical director of the Orthopaedic Spine Institute of Northwest Florida, to incorporate new devices into their repertoire of tools. 

That’s why last month, Dr. Huang attended a two-day seminar to train on CoreLink’s Lateral Access System, which includes a spine retractor and interbody fusion devices that allow surgeons greater access to disc space while minimizing tissue retraction, giving patients quicker surgery time, less discomfort and faster recovery.

With training provided by Dr. Ryan DenHaese and Dr. Brandon Strenge, The CoreLink training seminar provided an opportunity for Dr. Huang and other medical professionals to learn the intricacies and proper usage of the Lateral Access System and Retractor. Dr. Huang and his colleagues were then able to train on the lateral access device and conduct mock surgeries in a surgical setting using synthetic patients.

Additionally, attendees learned best practices for patient poisitioning, taping specifics, approach for surgical incisions, implant sizing and other procedural guidelines for using the CoreLink Lateral Access System 

Through CoreLink’s new medical system, surgeons like Dr. Huang can be more precise and less invasive when performing spine surgeries for a multitude of issues. Those experiencing neck, back or leg pain looking for a minimally-invasive solution are encouraged to call (850) 356-4407 to schedule an appointment today.
