Henley Self-Retaining Retractor System 17 cm
Features and Description:
The Henley Self-Retaining Retractor is a versatile instrument that surgeons use to gain deep and stable wound exposure. This tool is a favorite in cardiovascular, thyroid, and orthopedic surgeries because it allows for three-way retraction. Since the frame locks automatically, the surgical team can work with both hands free. Consequently, this system significantly improves efficiency during complex procedures.
We offer the Henley system in Standard and Deep types, along with several Central Blades. Therefore, you can customize the retractor to match the specific depth of your incision.
Key Features and Benefits
- Customizable Exposure: First, the detachable central blade allows you to reach different anatomical depths. This makes the Henley system a multi-purpose tool for many departments.
- Standard and Deep Frames: Furthermore, you can choose the frame style that best fits the patient. The deep type offers better leverage for thicker muscle layers.
- Self-Locking Ratchet: Since the finger-ring handle includes a precise ratchet, the instrument stays open at the exact width you set. As a result, the exposure remains consistent throughout the surgery.
- Three Blade Sizes: We provide central blades in 20 mm, 25 mm, and 30 mm lengths. Because we offer these options, you can safely retract tissues at various levels.
- Glare-Free Surface: Additionally, the satin finish prevents reflections from bright surgical lights. Therefore, the surgeon can maintain a clear view of the site.
