Medlene® Leriche Retractor is a hand-held device that allows surgeons to pull back heavy tissues, such as the abdominal organs, away from the surgical field in order to explore hidden cavities during general surgery.
The Leriche Retractor offers a variety of surgical benefits that bring comfort and utility to the operating room.
Firstly, the retractor has short shaft that inmediately broadens into a curved blade. The blade rims are blunt and prevent puncture or haemorrhage. Moreover, its width is enough to carry massive organs, such as the liver.
Secondly, the retractor comes with a bulky hollow handle that features an ergonomic outline. Also, it has a small bottom hook for resting the assistant’s hand.
Lastly, all our Leriche Retractors are available in two different working end sizes for reaching patients in every age range.
Made in highest quality, surgical grade stainless steel with satin finish to reduce glare. The instrument can be sterilized and reused.
