The Stieber Rib Grip Retractor Kit is a premier table-mounted subcostal lifting system engineered for upper abdominal and hepatic surgery. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with a bilateral horizontal crossbar, dual vertical support posts, ratchet platforms, and heavy-duty 4A and 5A ratcheted blades in Type A or Type B handles ($4,999), it delivers powerful, mechanical costal margin elevation.
The Stieber Rib Grip Retractor Kit is an internationally acclaimed table-mounted subcostal lifting system engineered specifically to provide safe, powerful costal margin elevation and expansive upper abdominal exposure during liver resections, transplantations, and complex upper GI surgery. Designed with an ultra-rigid bilateral frame that mounts directly onto both operating table side rails, this kit applies continuous mechanical upward and outward traction along the lower costal arch, exposing the hepatic dome, inferior vena cava, and subdiaphragmatic spaces without requiring manual pulling by surgical assistants.
Built to clinical framework specifications, this Stieber Rib Grip Retractor Kit complete set ($4,999) integrates an extensive multi-component mechanical assembly. Handcrafted from German stainless steel, the system includes a Lees Center Platform, Hydra Yoke Double Arm, a Vertical Pole with Wingnut for left-side bed mounting, an anti-rotation Vertical Pole with V-Notch, a heavy-duty Two-Piece Horizontal Bar locking across the upper chest/abdomen, and two Grooved 3/D Swinger Rail Clamps. Operative distraction is controlled through paired small ratchet platforms (Left and Right), paired large anatomical leverage platforms (Left and Right), two insertable Stieber turning handles, and a dedicated adjustment needle pin tool. The system includes two Size 4A medium-depth and two Size 5A deep-profile ratcheted blades, selectable with Type A (fixed/permanent pin) or Type B (slotted/interchangeable full multi-plane rotating) handles.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Stieber Rib Grip Retractor Kit to withstand massive lifting loads and repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing hepatic transplant suites, hepatobiliary surgical theaters, and oncology operating rooms worldwide with exceptional structural rigidity, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
