iLESSYS® Instruments

All in one: iLESSYS® Instruments System

More than 50 specific instruments for a conclusive diagnosis, a safe minimal access, the removal of leaked intervertebral disc material and nerve compressing degenerative structures are available.

Nearly all of the iLESSSYS® instruments are color coded similar to the traffic light system red-yellow-green. The green instruments have the smallest diameter, the red ones, the largest diameter. This logic eases application for the OR team.


For gentle access: the joimax® Spinal Laminoscope

Modern endoscopes for minimally invasive treatment of herniated discs. All Laminoscopes are available in the versions C: single cable technique (combo) or D: ocular technique + Light source (double), have an outer diameter of 6.3 mm, a working channel of 3.8 mm, a viewing angle of 30° and an irrigation channel, as well as, a suction channel both with inner diameters of 1.5 mm. Both versions are available in two lengths: 171 mm and 125 mm.

Precise and long-lasting: iLESSYS® Forceps and Endo-Kerrison-Punch

Our forceps are equipped with the patented `Luer Overload Protection System – LOPS´, which prevents overstretching, thus guaranteeing a long life.
The Kerrison can be used under endoscopic view, its shaft is exchangeable and available in two versions (90° cutting angle and 40° cutting angle).


Efficient and comfortable: the joimax® Disposable Access Kit

For each surgery disposables are needed. For example, puncture needles, reamers for bone material removal, etc.. In order to keep the procedure simple, joimax® developed a special system containing the necessary disposables. Consequently, the time and labor is minimized during each surgery performed endoscopically.


The set contains:

  • All necessary products for the single use, such as puncture needles, needles, syringes, dishes, marker, scalpel, guiding rods and an end cap for the endoscope.
  • All necessary materials are delivered sterile, in one set (orders for sterile material can be placed with one supplier instead of several).
  • The risk of infection is reduced considerably.
  • Staff costs are reduced.
  • Quality is guaranteed due to disposable/single-use reamers (no wear and tear).

Patient Consultation

Each spine surgery, including an iLESSYS® surgery, requires a profound amount of patient consulatation and preoperative planning, including a detailed dialogue with the patient, as well as imaging procedures such as MR imaging, a CT scan and/or x-ray. A discography at the beginning of the surgery can provide reassurance as to the exact location of the disc herniation. A myelography for diagnostic analysis purposes or done intraoperatively can help to determine the point of compression of the nerve structures.
