Our Extensive Hand-Held Retractor Selection
We supply an extensive range of surgical retractors for various procedures. Our hand-held retractor selection includes:
Senn
Senn retractors are commonly used in bone, joint, thyroid gland and cosmetic surgeries. These L-shaped, double-ended tools mainly retract surface tissue but can also hold back heavy tissue with their three prongs.
Deaver
A Deaver retractor has a flat, curved blade that is ideal for retracting deep abdominal and chest incisions. We have Deaver hollow handle and Deaver thin handle retractors. Both tools can be used in various procedures, including gallbladder removal or cutting out the vagus nerve from the gastroesophageal junction.
Richardson
Richardson retractors are also used to hold open a chest or abdominal incision and in Cesarean sections. These tools can retract multiple layers of heavy tissue, maintaining a clear surgical site. We also offer the Richardson Eastman retractor, a double-edged version of the Richardson.
Ribbon
The Ribbon is a flexible hand-held retractor with rounded, blunt edges. These instruments are used for retracting deep wounds, and their malleable nature means they can be bent into various shapes. For that reason, Ribbon retractors allow surgeons to adapt the tools to fit their tissue retraction needs.
Meyerding
Meyerding retractors are ideal for spinal surgeries or laminectomy, a neurosurgical procedure. The instruments hold back muscle and tissue during these delicate operations. We also offer Meyerding finger retractors, which feature a single-ring handle for finger operation.
U.S. Army Navy
U.S. Army Navy retractors have a double-ended design with blunt, curved edges and a secure grip. These hand-held retractors hold shallow and superficial wounds. They gently lift the tissue and organs out of the way and can also expose layers of the skin during plastic surgery.
Hohmann
Hohmann retractors are essential orthopedic instruments often used in knee and hip surgeries. These surgical instruments retract soft tissue and expose the bones. We carry the Hohmann bent retractors with long handles for better diagnosis and Hohmann mini retractors with a narrow design.
Farabeuf
As one of the most versatile hand-held retractors, Farabeuf retractors are useful for a range of surgical procedures. They can grasp, retract and hold tissue during surgery. These instruments are used in dentistry to hold back the tongue, lips and cheeks for better access to the surgical area. They are also used in hernia repair and hand or wrist procedures.
