SPINAL NERVE DECOMPRESSION SYSTEMS, DILATION SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A method for treating spinal nerve compression includes sequential dilation to position an instrument cannula along a patient's spine. Instruments can be delivered through the instrument cannula to remove targeted tissue for a decompression procedure. One of the instruments can be a reamer instrument configured to abrade, cut, or otherwise affect tissue along the patient's spine.
