Nathanson Liver Retractors from Medlene® have proven to be ideal for laparoscopic liver retraction as they support the entire liver to provide atraumatic exposure. The retractors feature a hexagonal proximal end which fits securely into the Quick-Connect hex fitting of Medlene® Holding and Positioning Systems. This direct attachment prevents axial rotation and liver slippage - a common problem with other holding systems. Medlene® offers the largest selection of Nathanson Liver Retractors on the market - available individually or as sets to accommodate all patients and procedures, including bariatrics, pediatrics and robotics.
