The Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor is a table-mounted self-retaining retractor system for colorectal, trans-anal, rectal and perineal procedures. A 12″ field post, two horizontal flex bars, a 12″ vertical extension bar and two post couplers give flexible mounting configurations. A segmented perineal ring and small half circle ring carry five multi-angle tilt ratchets and the included rectal, malleable and Deaver blades.

Product Description

The Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor is a table-mounted self-retaining retractor system designed to provide stable, hands-free surgical exposure during colorectal, trans-anal, rectal and perineal procedures. Its mounting framework uses a 12″ (30 cm) field post, two 1″ diameter horizontal flex bars, a 12″ (30 cm) vertical extension bar and two 1″ × 1″ stainless steel post couplers, allowing flexible positioning of the frame relative to the operating table and patient position.

The working frame can be assembled from a 9½″ × 14½″ (23.8 × 36.3 cm) segmented perineal ring or an 8½″ (21.3 cm) internal-diameter small half circle ring, depending on the approach. Five standard multi-angle tilt ratchets attach to the ring and allow each blade to be angled and tensioned independently.

The included blade set covers a range of exposure requirements: rectal blades in ⅞″ × 3⅞″ and ⅞″ × 2⅞″ sizes, malleable blades in 1″ × 3½″, ½″ × 4″ and ¾″ × 4″ sizes, and 1″ × 3½″ Deaver blades. All components are manufactured from non-magnetic, surgical-grade stainless steel and are supplied in a dedicated sterilization box.

The Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor is supplied non-sterile and is reusable and fully autoclavable. The Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor must be cleaned and sterilized according to the healthcare facility's validated procedures before use. Retractor Maker manufactures the system in Sialkot, Pakistan and supplies it directly to hospitals, surgeons and distributors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the complete Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor?

The complete system includes the perineal ring frame and table post assembly, self-retaining ratchet mechanisms, a comprehensive set of rectal and St. Mark’s blade varieties, and a dedicated sterilization container for organized processing.

What is the Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor used for?

The Bookwalter Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor 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 rectal and trans-anal procedures, including trans-anal excision of rectal tumors, rectal prolapse repair and fistula surgery.

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 Rectal/Trans-Anal Surgery Retractor 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.
