Vascular Lobster System

The set includes 1 Lobster frame, 1 table clamp with vertical post, 8 Lobster retractor clamps, a 10-piece vascular swivel blade assortment (Mayo, Fence, Splanchnic, Renal, Deaver, Malleable perforated, and Harrington Sweetheart), and a fitted sterilization storage box.

The Vascular Lobster System is a table-mounted self-retaining retractor engineered to isolate and hold abdominal walls and visceral organs away from major vascular structures, ensuring hands-free, stable operative corridors during vascular reconstruction.

This retractor is specifically indicated for open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, aortobifemoral bypass, renal artery reconstruction, vena cava thrombectomy, and retroperitoneal vascular bypass surgeries.

All metal elements are machined from medical-grade surgical stainless steel (AISI 304/316L and hardened 410/420) treated with an anti-reflective satin finish that suppresses glare under intense OR headlights and surgical microscopes.
