Thyroid Retractors

Thyroid retractors help surgeons retract the skin layer or the surgical wound located in the neck region. Given their functions, they can either be acquired in a self-retaining or handheld configuration. Furthermore, different blade designs, such as blunt or rounded, fulfil different surgical demands. Grey Medical stands notably superior with their one-of-a-kind range of thyroid retractors. All our retracting tools are known for their enhanced control and safety.

What makes Grey Medical’s Thyroid Retractors Truly Exceptional?

Retracting tools should be safe and secure with dependable tips. As it is known, the neck region is usually very sensitive. Therefore, only those minimally invasive retractors can work. Secondly, there are close regions in the neck; the tips should be either blunt or angled for better penetration. At Grey Medical, we are mindful of every unique need. 

Features

The following features lie at the core of Grey Medical’s thyroid retractors, such as: 

  • Handle Configuration: We built our tools with non-slipping handles. This prevents any accidental damage to the healthy tissues. 
  • Blades and edges: Different variations, such as blunt, rounded tips, curved, fenestrated, or adjustable blades, are available to minimise the chances of damage from misappropriation. 
  • Self-retaining Retraction: Mostly, our tools use ratchets or screw locks that allow to keep the tool to stay in its place.
  • Construction Material: Only durable surgical-grade stainless steel is used during the construction of our thyroid retractors.
  • Features that stand out: Sometimes, if asked for a customisation, we incorporate fibre-optic cables/ LED lighting in our thyroid retractors. This helps illuminate the region during manipulation. 

Examples

Our chief thyroid retractors are given for a quick overview: 

  • Weitlaner: Typically, the Weitlaner retractor has hinged arms with ratcheted handles. This helps grab the sides of the skin for better retraction. Furthermore, this tool has prongs which lock in place when required.
  • Gelpi: This thyroid retractor has hinged and sharp holding arms. Usually, the tips are curved.
  • Balfour: Typically, this retractor has interchangeable blades. This allows the surgeons to change blades according to the depth of the surgical wound. Typically, a sharpened blade assists in superficial retracting. The curved blades help with deep retraction. 
  • Thompson: These retractors are compact and miniaturised for minimally invasive procedures.
