The Role of Self-Retaining Retractors in the Operating Room
Spine self-retaining retractors are versatile tools that free up surgeons’ hands. They hold back tissues and organs on their own to create valuable space and optimize visibility. They’re designed to self-fix the tissue and lock it in place using various components such as springs, ratchets and worm gears. Smaller configurations are generally used to hold skin and tissue, while larger models offer the strength to retract bones, muscles and organs.
Retractors with self-retaining mechanisms are valuable pieces of equipment to have in an operating room. These easy-to-use tools eliminate any need for manual retraction, which decreases the risk of surgeon fatigue and increases the overall safety of the procedure. Because of these qualities, surgical teams can count on our self-retaining retractors for spine, chest, heart and bone surgeries. Some of the most common retractor models include Gelpi retractors, Adson self-retaining retractors, Beckman retractors and Balfour self-retaining retractors.
