Self retaining retractor

The Self-Retaining Retractor is a surgical instrument designed to hold tissues apart without continuous manual assistance. It features opposing blades attached to a ratchet or spring mechanism that maintains stable retraction once positioned, allowing surgeons hands-free access to the operative field. Commonly used in orthopedic, general, and gynecological surgeries, it ensures consistent exposure, improved visibility, and reduced operator fatigue while minimizing tissue trauma.
