O’Sullivan-O’Connor Vaginal Speculum and Retractor

Description

O’Sullivan-O’Connor Vaginal Speculum and Retractor

The O’Sullivan-O’Connor retractor holds the abdominal wall open during pelvic and gynecologic surgery. Because it retains itself, the team keeps hands free for the operation.

Frame and detachable blades

The frame carries blades that attach and detach. So the team can fit the blade size the field requires. Also, spare blades come separately in three sizes.

Complete set or frame only

The complete set gives you the frame with its blades, ready for surgery. Alternatively, choose the frame only if you already own blades. That way, you avoid paying twice for parts you have.

Self-retaining benefit

Once in place, the frame holds its opening without an assistant pulling. Therefore, fewer hands crowd the incision during long pelvic cases. Meanwhile, the surgeon enjoys a steady, unchanging view.

Common uses

Gynecologic surgeons use an O’Sullivan-O’Connor retractor for open abdominal and pelvic work. For example, it keeps the field open during abdominal hysterectomy. In addition, the detachable blades let one frame suit patients of different sizes.

Reprocessing O’Sullivan-O’Connor retractor

Take the blades off the frame before reprocessing, so every surface gets clean. Next, brush the attachment points where each blade meets the frame. Finally, dry each piece and store them together so no blade goes astray.
