Frequently Asked Questions
What is a surgical retractor used for?
A retractor holds back the edges of an incision or organs so the surgeon can see and reach the area being operated on.
What is the difference between handheld and self-retaining retractors?
A hand-held retractor must be held in place by an assistant. A self-retaining retractor has a built-in lock that keeps the wound open on its own, freeing the team's hands.
