K2M Inc, relying on a surgeon-driven design philosophy for product development, has announced successful clinical evaluations using its new Serengeti Minimally Invasive Retractor System.

The system offers a novel approach for screw and rod placement resulting in improved visualization and access for posterior spine procedures. The system features a patent-pending screw-based design allowing for percutaneous delivery with the pedicle screw and establishes a fixed position to the anatomy.

The placement eliminates retractor re-positioning typically associated with other systems, thereby potentially reducing surgical procedure time.

Other features include the system's capability for use in multiple level constructs and its minimal instrumentation, which reduces surgeon learning curve and operating room set up time.
