Flexible Retractors Reduce Errors

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 20 Apr 2006
A new line of surgical retractors has helped hospitals standardize successfully with a single retractor set that can be used by the entire surgical staff.

The Omni-Flex, made by Omni-Tract Surgical (St. More...
Paul, MN, USA), is a table-mounted surgical retractor system that offers hands-free access to the operative site, providing optimal exposure in a wide range of situations, including vascular, general, urology, orthopedic, pediatric, transplant, and other surgical procedures. The new system offers added strength for larger patients and gives surgeons the flexibility needed for both minimally invasive and standard procedures.

The system gives hospitals the flexibility to use the same basic system in a variety of surgical procedures by using specialized retractor blades. Using a standardized Omni-Flex system, operating room personnel can use consistent equipment in any procedure. Since each system is identical, hospital personnel know exactly which parts to include, improving operating efficiency and reducing the possibility of introducing errors during the surgical procedure.

The Omni-Flex retractor system offers the flexibility for virtually any surgical procedure through the removable, interchangeable frame. It's nimble enough for smaller incisions and strong enough for larger patients, said Steve LeVahn, president and CEO of Omni-Tract Surgical. Our new, proprietary SideSnap clamp lets a surgeon quickly place a retractor wherever it is needed. This new system reflects our commitment to improving surgery through innovative solutions.
