The Lobster General Retractor System is a versatile table-mounted surgical frame engineered to provide hands-free, stable soft-tissue retraction during general and abdominal procedures. With a rigid Lobster frame, table post, 6 retractor clamps, and 10 specialized swivel blades—including modified Kelly blades—it maintains consistent operative visibility.
Product Description
The Lobster General Retractor System is an adaptable table-mounted surgical retractor platform engineered to eliminate assistant fatigue and establish continuous, hands-free exposure across open abdominal procedures. By clamping securely to the operating table side rail, this self-retaining frame creates an unyielding structural perimeter that maintains stable tissue retraction without slipping during lengthy operations.
Configured specifically for general abdominal and visceral interventions, the Lobster General Retractor System includes a heavy-duty table post clamp, a rigid Lobster frame, and six quick-locking slide clamps. The system features a 10-piece general surgery swivel blade assortment—including modified Kelly swivel blades (3″ × 2½″ and 3″ × 4″), deep Splanchnic visceral blades, broad Fence retractors, Deaver, Harrington Sweetheart, Mayo, and perforated malleable strips that flex to patient contours.
Manufactured from non-magnetic, medical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin finish, Retractor Maker supplies the Lobster General Retractor System non-sterile and fully autoclavable in a custom heavy-duty sterilization box, providing hospitals and surgical centers with reliable durability and consistent OR performance.
