Description

Self-Retaining Abdominal Retractor.

Description: This classic surgical instrument is used to hold open a large abdominal incision, providing maximum exposure to the pelvic and abdominal organs.

It consists of two main side arms with right-angle blades that retract the lateral edges of the incision.

The most distinct feature is the central blade, often a spoon-like retractor, which is adjustable via a screw mechanism and is typically used to retract the bladder or lower abdominal wall.

It is a self-retaining retractor, meaning it locks into position, freeing the surgeon’s and assistant’s hands.
