Hayes Hand Instruments

Hand-held retractors are surgical instruments used to retract, expose or hold back tissue, muscle, organs or bone. Holding back incisions and organs helps surgeons expose and access the surgery site. Retractors also protect organs from accidental injury. These single-piece devices require constant holding during general and orthopedic surgical procedures because they have no locking mechanism to keep them in place.

gSource hand-held retractors are manufactured from high-quality, high-tensile and corrosion-resistant U.S. or German surgical stainless steel. We have a wide selection of retractor surgery instruments, with many device lengths, blade widths, serrations and other options available. Each retractor is suited to a specific body part or surgical area. For example, small retractors hold back skin and tissue. Larger retractors retract the muscles, organs and bones.
