1.High-definition imaging
A high-quality optical lens system is adopted to provide high-resolution and wide-angle field of view, ensuring clear observation of the intervertebral foramen and surrounding nerve structures during the operation.
Combined with cold light source illumination, it reduces the risk of tissue burns and enhances the brightness of the surgical field, making it suitable for operations in deep and narrow Spaces.
2. Precise minimally invasive surgery
Designed specifically for foraminal approach surgeries (such as Foraminoplasty under foraminal endoscopy), it has a small diameter (usually ≤8mm) and can enter through natural anatomical Spaces, reducing muscle and soft tissue damage.
Cooperate with the working channels (such as the instrument channel and the irrigation channel) to achieve "microscopic operation" and avoid the trauma of traditional open surgery.
3. Multi-functional integrated design
Multi-channel system: Integrating irrigation (perfusion) and aspiration functions to keep the surgical field clean and control bleeding simultaneously.
Strong compatibility: Supports connection with radiofrequency ablation, laser, microscopic instruments, etc., for hemostasis, nerve release or tissue resection.
4. Ergonomic structure
The rigid mirror body is made of wear-resistant materials (such as medical stainless steel or titanium alloy), featuring both lightweight and high strength, making it suitable for long-term operation.
Straight or inclined lens designs (such as 0°, 30° viewing angles) are adopted to meet the requirements of different surgical pathways.
5. Disinfection and durability
The reusable design supports high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization (Autoclave) or low-temperature plasma disinfection, meeting the sterility requirements of the operating room.
Anti-fogging treatment is carried out to prevent mirror blurring caused by temperature differences during the operation.
6. Application Scenarios
It is mainly used for minimally invasive spinal surgery (MIS), such as:
Decompression surgery for Herniated Disc
Dilated plasty for Foraminal Stenosis
Precise release of nerve root compression
7. Technological advantages
Real-time visualization: Reduce the reliance on X-ray fluoroscopy during surgery and lower the radiation exposure of both doctors and patients.
Shorten the recovery period: Patients recover quickly after the operation, and the hospital stay is significantly shortened.
The objective lens, cylindrical lens and other opticalcomponents are made of high-qualityraw materials, of higher optical transmittance, hightemperature and high pressure resistance, bettercorrosion resistance, and clearer field of view.
Equipped with light source interfaces ofmultiple specifcations, it suits Olympus, Wolf,Storz and other mainstream brand interfaces, can realizefree switch, and is compatible with more cold lightsources.
The inner wall of the working channel has ahardened coating for higher hardness and wearresistance, minimizing the possibility of scratches anddamage.
The application scope of Rigid Endoscope for aminoscope (Rigid Endoscope Foraminoscope)
Minimally invasive spinal surgery
It is used for minimally invasive endoscopic surgery through the percutaneous Transforaminal Approach to assist doctors in observing the transforaminal foramen and the surrounding anatomical structures.Treatment of intervertebral disc protrusion
It is applicable to minimally invasive resection of lumbar or cervical intervertebral disc protrusion (such as PELD: percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy).
The protruding nucleus pulposus tissue that compresses the nerve roots is visually removed.
Decompression for spinal stenosis
Endoscopic bony decompression for intervertebral foramen stenosis or lateral crypt stenosis to expand the nerveroot channels.
Diagnosis and treatment of nerve root compression
Directly observe the compression of nerve roots to assist in diagnosis and implement precise decompression.
It is applicable to cervical spondylosis of the nerve root type or lumbar nerve root entrapment syndrome.
Spinal infection or biopsy
Under the microscope, the intervertebral space infection lesions (such as intervertebral disc inflammation) are cleared, or the lesion tissues are sampled and biopsied.
Postoperative revision surgery
Minimally invasive treatment is carried out for residual or recurrent intervertebral disc protrusion, scar adhesion, etc. after previous spinal surgeries.
Teaching and training: Used for spinal anatomy demonstration or surgical simulation training.
A rigid endoscope foraminoscope is a specialized surgical instrument used in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) to visualize and access the intervertebral foramen (the opening where spinal nerves exit the spinal canal). It helps surgeons perform procedures such as foraminotomy or discectomy with minimal tissue disruption.
Rigid design for stability and precise control
High-resolution optics for clear visualization of spinal structures
Working channels for surgical instruments (e.g., lasers, forceps, radiofrequency probes)
Compatibility with irrigation and suction systems
Various diameters and lengths to accommodate different patient anatomies
Foraminotomy (enlarging the foramen to relieve nerve compression)
Discectomy (removing herniated disc material)
Nerve root decompression
Treatment of spinal stenosis
Biopsy or diagnostic visualization
✔ Minimally invasive – Smaller incisions, less muscle damage
✔ Reduced postoperative pain – Faster recovery compared to open surgery
✔ Enhanced visualization – Direct view of neural structures
✔ Lower infection risk – Smaller wounds reduce exposure
Foraminoscopes are specifically designed for accessing the intervertebral foramen, while other endoscopes (e.g., arthroscopes, laparoscopes) are used for joints or abdominal cavities.
They often have a smaller diameter (e.g., 4mm–6mm) and angled tips for better navigation in the spine.
Local anesthesia with sedation
General anesthesia (depending on patient condition and surgeon preference)
Many patients experience same-day or next-day discharge.
Full recovery may take 2–6 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the spine.
Nerve irritation (temporary numbness or weakness)
Dural tear (rare, may cause CSF leakage)
Infection (minimized with proper sterile technique)
Bleeding (usually minor)
Follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning and sterilization (typically autoclaving or ethylene oxide).
Inspect optics regularly for damage or fogging.
Store in a protective case to prevent bending or scratching.
Many spine surgery training programs and medical device companies offer workshops.
Surgeons should have experience in endoscopic spine techniques before performing foraminoscopy.
