Self-retaining retractors use a specialised locking mechanism to keep the edges of the surgical wound open. The locking mechanism can either be a ratchet or a spring. Consequently, the surgeons can keep their hands free, significantly reducing the chances of developing muscular strain during long surgery hours. Grey Medical has set its own standard with its unmatched efficiency in this field. We work to supply all styles and configurations of self-retaining retractors. 

How are Grey Medical’s Sel-Retaining Retractors Distinguished from Others?

Self-retaining retractors at Grey Medical feature a configuration committed to reduced tissue trauma. At the same time, they are highly adaptable, allowing for a great number of blades and styles for different anatomical structures. 

Key Features

Our range of self-retaining retractors has the following key features, precisely:

  • Hands-free operation: With our self-retaining retractors, surgeons and practitioners can keep their hands free. Furthermore, this also reduces muscular strain that comes from holding tools for a long period of time. 
  • Consistent retraction and enhanced visualisation: As these tools feature locking mechanisms, the field remains open for better manipulation. Also, this ensures enhanced visualisation, promising better results. 
  • Reduced fatigue: Surgeons can develop a muscular strain from holding the tools for a long period of time. Furthermore, the surgical staff also remains engaged while holding the tool. However, with self-retaining retractors, none of these problems remains.

Major Self-Retaining Retractors at Grey Medical

Here is a brief overview of major self-retaining retractors at Grey Medical: 

Weitlaner retractor

In medium-depth incisions, surgical practitioners use a special kind of retractor with hinged, curved arms with pairs of teeth. General surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopaedics benefit from the Weitlaner retractor. 

Gelpi retractor

Surgeons use the Gelpi retractor on hard and thick tissues. They work to retract with their curved arms and hooks. Typically, they are used during perineal and spinal surgeries. 

Balfour retractor

These are self-retaining abdominal retractors made to retract the abdominal walls. Typically, this tool has central blades to keep the walls stretched. 

Bookwalter retractor

This retractor has a range of different retractable blades. Mostly, the operation is handled by the ratchet lock. Furthermore, urological and abdominal surgeries benefit from this. 

Thompson retractor

This has a low-profile configuration serving the abdominal and pelvic surgical fields. Overall, the tool provides stable refraction at multiple planes.

Graves retractor

This is a highly specialised self-retaining retractor to keep the vaginal walls stretched.
