The Esophageal Articulating Retractor is an advanced laparoscopic instrument designed for esophageal mobilization and bariatric band placement. Handcrafted from German stainless steel in 5 mm or 10 mm diameters with greater than 90° tip articulation and a dedicated tip fenestration ($299), it ensures safe retrogastric tunneling and hiatal exposure.
The Esophageal Articulating Retractor is an indispensable laparoscopic surgical retractor and dissector engineered specifically to provide safe, non-traumatic esophageal mobilization, hiatal exposure, and retrogastric passage during bariatric and anti-reflux surgery. Designed with an articulated distal tip capable of bending past 90 degrees, this instrument wraps smoothly around the gastroesophageal junction, allowing surgeons to establish a clean retroesophageal window without compressing adjacent vagal trunks or lacerating fragile esophageal musculature.
Built to clinical framework specifications, this Esophageal Articulating Retractor model ($299) offers versatile shaft diameter options of 5 mm or 10 mm, with working lengths spanning from 330 mm to 375 mm (overall instrument length 438 mm to 487 mm). Handcrafted from German stainless steel, the working end design feature is outfitted with a dedicated tip fenestration specifically engineered for passing bariatric bands, surgical tapes, or traction Penrose drains through the retroesophageal space. The tip articulation capability bends to an angle of more than 90°, governed by an ergonomic control wheel at the handle that locks orientation rigidly.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Esophageal Articulating Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing bariatric operating centers, foregut surgery suites, and minimally invasive clinical centers worldwide with unmatched mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.

The distal segment of the Esophageal Articulating Retractor bends past 90 degrees to contour around the gastroesophageal junction, allowing its fenestrated tip to guide gastric bands and traction loops cleanly without damaging posterior vagal nerve fibers.
The Esophageal Articulating Retractor is used in bariatric and foregut surgery to dissect behind the esophagus, retract the gastroesophageal junction, and guide adjustable gastric bands into position.
It is indicated for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), Nissen fundoplication, Toupet fundoplication, Heller myotomy, and hiatal hernia repair.
The instrument is handcrafted from German stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under laparoscope illumination.
Yes. The entire Esophageal Articulating Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The articulation joint and control cables should be cleaned and inspected regularly.
Because this is an integrated precision-geared mechanical laparoscopic instrument, it is supplied as a complete standalone unit.
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom fenestration profiles, modified articulation angles, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
