Abdominal Type Retractors
Abdominal type retractors work to retract and push aside the organs during surgical procedures. Given their name, they are made to retract the abdominal walls. Therefore, they have blunt ends to prevent any accidental harm to the healthy tissues. Grey Medical specialises in different types of hand-held retractors for abdominal interventions. Our surgical supply store offers a range of different abdominal-type retractors in all their different configurations.

Key Features of Abdominal-Type Retractors
Grey Medical’s Abdominal-Type retractors stand peerless with their many key features. Here is a brief overview:
Material: Our abdominal-type retractors are made with top-grade surgical stainless steel. Moreover, we supplement our tools with titanium to make them strong.
Manual Usage: During abdominal surgeries, surgeons need to retract the abdomen at specific angles. Therefore, abdominal-type retractors are made hand-held to provide greater freedom of movement.
Control: All our abdominal-type retractors can be repositioned as per requirements. The handles feature a gripping pattern to provide greater comfort for surgeons holding them for long hours. The abdominal cavity has different depths and thicknesses. Therefore, our range has various styles and sizes of abdominal-type retractors.
Examples of Handheld Abdominal-Type Retractors
The following abdominal-type retractors can be found at Grey Medical, precisely:
Deaver Retractor: This tool features a crescent-shaped end with a large, thin handle for maximum control. This helps retract the duodenum, liver, stomach, and abdominal wall during cholecystectomies and the removal of the appendix.
Harrington Retractor: Made with an arched shaft, it has a unique heart–shaped blade. In cases when there is a chance of haemorrhage, the Harrington retractor firmly holds the tissues. Majorly, they work on the intra-abdominal muscular layers.
Ribbon Retractor: This type has a unique ability. It can transform according to the anatomical structure of the abdominal cavity. Usually, it consists of a long, metal strip with a malleable structure. Mostly, they come in handy during deep abdominal procedures.
Richardson Retractor: Constructed with a long shaft, this retractor has a right-angled blade. It usually goes deep in the abdominal cavity during C-sections and laparotomies. There are different variants of this, such as Richardson-Eastman, which has a double-ended design.
Farabeuf Retractor: It consists of a longer and a narrower blade. Mostly, they find usage during hernia repair with their double-ended structure.
Army-Navy Retractor: These feature blunt blades for retracting shallow wounds and surgical incisions.
