Wishbone Retractor System

The Wishbone retractor system is a table-mounted, self-retaining retractor for major abdominal, vascular, hepatobiliary and pelvic surgery. Its Y-shaped wishbone frame mounts to the operating table and holds a range of swivel blades, giving wide, stable and hands-free exposure. Grey Medical supplies complete Wishbone sets and individual components as part of our table-mounted retractors range.

How the Wishbone System Works

An upright post attaches to the table rail. The wishbone frame, side arms and crossbars connect to the post, and blades are fixed to the frame with swivel blade holders. The surgeon can place and angle each blade exactly where needed, then lock it in place.
