Product Description
The Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System is a table-mounted self-retaining retractor designed to provide stable, hands-free surgical exposure during open bariatric procedures requiring specialized retraction. Its modular framework combines an extended field post, horizontal support components, adjustable ratchet mechanisms and an oval ring to create a stable retraction platform around the operative field.
The bariatric configuration includes an 18-inch field post, six multi-angle tilt ratchet mechanisms, a ratchet extender, a variable-angle twist ratchet and a medium oval ring. The set also includes selected Kelly, Balfour, malleable and Harrington blades in different dimensions for different retraction requirements.
The complete system is supplied in a dedicated protective sterilization box for organized storage and processing. The Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System is supplied non-sterile and is designed to be reusable and autoclavable. Cleaning and sterilization should be performed according to the healthcare facility's validated procedures before use.
Retractor Maker supplies the Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System directly to hospitals, distributors and other B2B customers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the complete Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System?
The complete system includes the ring frame and heavy-duty table post, self-retaining ratchet mechanisms, a comprehensive set of extra-long and wide Balfour, Harrington, Kelly and Deaver blade varieties, and a dedicated sterilization container for organized processing.
What is the Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System used for?
The Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System is a table-mounted, self-retaining surgical retractor engineered to provide steady, hands-free exposure of deep operative fields. By anchoring directly to the operating table rails and locking blades under mechanical counter-traction, it eliminates assistant muscle fatigue and prevents tissue slip during long procedures.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
This system is indicated for bariatric and deep abdominal procedures, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and abdominal wall reconstruction.
What material and finish are used?
Every component is manufactured from non-magnetic, surgical-grade stainless steel. All surfaces are treated with a non-reflective satin finish to suppress glare under intense operating room lighting.
Is it reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Bookwalter Bariatric Retractor System is 100% reusable and fully validated for standard steam autoclave sterilization cycles (pre-vacuum steam at 134°C / 273°F). All mechanical clamps, ratchets and joint connections should be loosened or disassembled prior to cleaning and autoclaving.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Yes. Hospitals, clinics and distributors can purchase individual replacement parts — including specific blade depths, ratchet mechanisms, frame rings, post couplers and storage cases — as open-stock catalog items without needing to buy a complete system.
Can custom blade dimensions or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Because Retractor Maker is a direct manufacturer, we provide custom blade modifications (such as extended depths or specialty curves), bespoke frame sizing, and custom laser etching for hospital asset tracking or OEM branding.
What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?
For in-stock instruments, orders take 5 business days to process and inspect, followed by 7 business days for worldwide delivery. For back-order or custom-manufactured systems, production takes 17 to 20 business days, followed by 9 business days for delivery. Full tracking details are supplied upon dispatch.
