Hooks & Retractors

Surgical Retractors and Hooks

New Med Instruments manufactures a variety of premium grade quality Surgical Retractors and Plastic Surgery Hooks produced using surgical grade materials and high quality manufacturing processes with adherence to and exceeding international ISO norms. Retractors are used for retracting the tissue surrounding the wound or a surgical incision.

When the subject of surgical intervention is a body part to which the approach is blocked by underlying organs or tissue, the Retractors are used to hold back those organs or tissue and enable the surgeon full access and visualization of the subject. Although many retractors are self-retaining or can be clamped in one place so they don’t need to be held, traditionally, most Retractors are quite simple hand-held instruments that vary significantly in shape and size. Retractors also include spatulas, such as abdominal spatulas, while certain Retractors used for forceful tissue separation are referred to as spreaders. Good examples of these are wound spreaders and lamina spreaders. Hooks are a group of hand-held Retractors comprised of a curved or hooked blade and a handle.
