Hook for Liver Retraction

Description

Hook for Liver Retraction

This liver retraction hook fits a table-mounted liver retractor system of the Nathanson type. It comes in small, medium and large sizes.

A system component

The hook does not work on its own. Instead, it forms part of a Nathanson-type system that mounts on the table. So order it as a spare or to add sizes to your set.

Choosing a size

Small hooks suit smaller patients or a smaller liver. Meanwhile, the large size gives a wider lift for a bigger lobe. Then the medium size covers many routine cases.

Why spares help

A spare hook keeps a list moving if one set is still in reprocessing. Also, having all three sizes lets the surgeon choose on the day. As a result, the team avoids a mid-case wait.

Fit check

Confirm that your system follows the Nathanson pattern before you order. If you are unsure, send us a photo of your set. Then we can confirm the liver retraction hook will fit.

Reprocessing liver retraction hook

Clean the hook right after the case, before tissue dries on its curve. Next, inspect the tip for bends or nicks under good light. Finally, dry it and store the three sizes apart so they do not scratch.
