For abdominal and pelvic surgeries, particularly gynecological procedures, a self-retaining retractor device is used. Made of surgical-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization, the standard set features a sturdy frame with a maximum spread of 7 1/2" and multiple interchangeable blades for adjustable tissue retraction. It also offers hands-free exposure, improving surgical access and efficiency.
