The Thompson Retractor System is an advanced, table-mounted surgical frame engineered to deliver unyielding, hands-free exposure during high-complexity open procedures. Built with dual Elite rail clamps, multi-angled articulating arms, and micro-adjustable handles, it gives surgical teams absolute control across transplant, hepatobiliary, cardiothoracic, and deep pelvic operations.
Product Description
The Thompson Retractor System is a dual-rail, table-mounted self-retaining retractor platform engineered to eliminate assistant fatigue and maintain rock-solid operative visibility in deep anatomical cavities. Built for demanding surgical disciplines, its modular framework anchors securely to both operating table rails using two heavy-duty Elite clamps, supporting an independent bilateral hinged crossbar and multiple angled articulated arms that distribute counter-traction evenly across wide surgical wounds.
Engineered to handle the heavy retraction loads required in liver transplants, open vascular reconstructions, hepatobiliary resections, and radical pelvic dissections, the Thompson Retractor System incorporates quick-connect Cam Clip-On attachments alongside fine-threaded micro-adjustable handles. The system is paired with a diverse surgical blade inventory, including lipped and wide Balfour blades, deep visceral Harrington Sweethearts, St. Marks pelvic blades, standard Kelly retractors, and multi-width malleable ribbons that adapt smoothly to irregular patient anatomy.
Forged exclusively from non-magnetic, medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a specialized anti-glare satin finish, Retractor Maker supplies the Thompson Retractor System non-sterile and fully autoclavable inside a tailored wooden storage chest designed for organized transport and surgical tray preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the complete Thompson Retractor System?
The complete system includes table rail clamp posts and articulating arm assemblies, self-retaining ratchet mechanisms, a comprehensive set of Richardson, Kelly, Deaver, Harrington and Balfour blade varieties, and a dedicated sterilization tray for organized processing.
What is the Thompson Retractor System used for?
The Thompson 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 general laparotomy, cardiovascular, urological, vascular and gynecological procedures, including colectomy, liver resection, Whipple procedures and radical prostatectomy.
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 Thompson 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.
