These carpal tunnel retractor instruments, specifically designed as precision tools in the improvement of visualization and accessibility of carpal tunnel release procedures, are dedicated instruments that would retract soft tissue away from the carpal tunnel for easy approach by surgeons to perform carpal tunnel release by letting loose the constricting, median nerve-compressing transverse carpal ligament. All three types may come in three types: one blade, double-blade, or self-retaining. Their smooth, ergonomic surfaces and construction from surgical-grade stainless steel allow for durability, precise control, and low tissue trauma with optimal surgical results and patient comfort.
Components and Their Functions
Single-Blade Retractors: For unilateral tissue retraction, ideal for focused surgical approaches.
Double-Blade Retractors: Provide bilateral tissue retraction for broader access.
Self-Retaining Mechanism (Optional): Maintains retraction without manual intervention, enhancing surgical efficiency.
Ergonomic Handles: Ensure a comfortable grip and reduce hand fatigue during prolonged procedures.
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Offers durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilization.
Key Features
Unique shape tailored for safe and effective tissue retraction.
Smooth surfaces to minimize soft tissue trauma.
Durable, high-quality stainless steel construction.
Ergonomic handles for optimal control and reduced hand strain.
Multiple design variations to accommodate diverse surgical needs.
Applications
Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: Advances the tissues backward to create visibility and access the transverse carpal ligament.
Median Nerve Decompression: Enables sharp dissection and decompression of the median nerve.
Hand and Wrist Procedures: Ideal for further hand surgeries that require tissue retraction in tight spaces.
Orthopedic and Plastic Surgeries: Used in procedures involving intricate soft tissue manipulation.
