Self-Retaining Retractors From gSource
Used in countless applications for many years, retractors are vital instruments for performing internal surgeries. Medical personnel use them to hold body parts out of the way so that the surgeon can have a clear view and work cleanly. A self-retaining retractor uses ratchets, screws or clamps to hold the tissue open by itself without the need for an assistant to hold it.
We stock a wide range of these instruments, suitable for many surgical uses. Explore our list of retractors below:
Adson Retractors
Adson-type retractors provide a non-traumatic way to pry and keep open large incisions for a range of surgical procedures. Surgeons use them most frequently for general and neurological applications. Types include the following:
- Adson cerebellar: Made from German surgical stainless steel, this instrument is used during intracranial procedures to retract the cerebellum. It has sharp prongs for precise control.
- Adson retractor: Available in angled, straight, blunt and sharp varieties, these German stainless steel retractors are perfect for general procedures like pulling muscles back in spinal surgeries.
Alm Retractors
Available in sharp or blunt varieties and manufactured from German surgical stainless steel, alm retractors are suitable for holding back soft tissues of a small area in general procedures. They are especially popular with veterinarians.
Bailey Retractors
Manufacturers make this retractor for pulling back ribs to ensure proper line of sight and easy suturing during operations. It has a moveable blade with a ratchet for careful rib movement.
Balfour Retractors
Balfour retractors are available in various sizes and come with a central blade — we also offer one for pediatric use. Surgeons use these retractors in urological, gynecological and general surgeries to pull back tissues and organs and increase the surgical field view. The central blade variety is beneficial in abdominal cavity surgical procedures.
Beckman Retractors
These self-retaining retractors have many surgical benefits. Surgeons find them especially useful in hip and spinal cord surgeries for holding back heavy muscles. They come in different sizes and can be sharp or blunt. Big or small, they are excellent at holding back tissues and muscles during procedures.
We offer Beckman, Beckman-Adson and Beckman-Eaton retractors with sharp or blunt teeth and in many sizes, so you can find one that perfectly suits your needs.
