gSource self-retaining retractors are crafted from high quality German or U.S. surgical stainless steel. Most retractor handles have either ratchets or speedlocks which, when set, will hold the open position of the working ends in order to retract, expose or hold back tissue, muscle, organs or bone during general or orthopedic procedures. Small retractors are generally used to hold back skin and tissue. Larger retractors are used mainly to retract the muscles, organs and bones.
