Product review summary

• General Retractors
• Table-Mounted Retractors

• WISHBONE RETRACTOR SYSTEM
• This system is used to suspend the laryngoscope during micro and laser surgery of the larynx. Laryngoscope and Strong Laryngoscope Handle Extension (502261) are not included. Basic system is supplied with a wide assortment of retractor blades for various purposes. Special blade requirements may be ordered economically from your Pilling® Weck® surgical representative. All components are constructed of heat-treated 400 Series stainless steel. There are no plastic washers or small parts.
• A single post table-mounted self-retaining retractor designed for any major abdominal vascular procedures of the aorta, iliacs and their branches.
• Allows use of multiple blades of various configurations, eliminating the need for second or third assistants
• Supports the laryngoscope for two-handed surgery.
• Allows use of the Boyce-Jackson position.
• Non-wavering, non-tiring, self-retaining retraction provides better exposure, speeding the procedure with less postoperative pain. Is not affected by chest movement.
• Far more versatile than the traditional types of self-retaining retractors. Less restrictive than enclosed ring and frame type retractors.
• Can be easily set up and positioned by the surgeon and one assistant. The rail clamp may be attached to the table rail over the patient drapes. Allows repositioning of the table as necessary without readjustment of the suspension system.
• Disc clamps on the table upright and crossbar are easily tightened and provide greater force and stability than other systems.
• Closed and open universal clamps that attach the retractor blades to the "wishbone" frame both feature a unique captive design. Clamps are easily cleaned ultrasonically without disassembling them.
• Open distal end of the "split wishbone" allows easier tunneling if grafting is required below the ilio-femoral junction. "Split (two piece) wishbone" frame allows simplified handling and assembly and will fit standard sterilizing trays.
