Self-Retaining Retractors

Self-Retaining Retractors are surgical instruments designed to hold tissues or organs apart without the need for constant manual support from the surgeon. They feature a mechanism that locks the retractor in place, allowing the surgeon to focus on the procedure. These retractors are commonly used in longer surgeries, such as abdominal or orthopedic procedures, where continuous retraction is necessary. Self-retaining retractors are adjustable and come in various designs, offering flexibility and stability for optimal access to the surgical area while minimizing fatigue for the surgical team.
