Biggs Fiber Optic Retractor with light Guide Blades

Description

Biggs Fiber Optic Retractor with light Guide Blades

The Biggs fiber optic retractor lights and holds the breast implant pocket. A light guide runs along the blade, so the far end of the pocket is easy to see.

Two blade widths

Blades come in two widths, 30 mm and 50 mm. The narrower one suits smaller incisions. Meanwhile, the 50 mm holds a wider roof in larger pockets.

Why use the Biggs fiber optic retractor

Breast pockets are deep and dark. Therefore, light at the blade tip shows bleeding points and tissue bands clearly. As a result, the surgeon can work more precisely.

Typical procedures

Breast augmentation and revisions use it most. For example, it lights the pocket while the surgeon releases bands with a dissector. It also helps during capsule work.

Connecting the light

The light guide links to a light cable from your source. Then the light travels down the blade. Also, test the light before the case begins.

Handling

Insert the blade along the pocket roof. Next, lift gently and aim the light at the work. Finally, change position as the dissection moves.

Keeping the light bright

Polish both light guide faces with lens tissue after each case. Wash the blade, rinse it and let it dry fully. Afterwards, lay it in the tray away from heavy tools.
