Rochard Retractor, Complete

Description

Rochard Retractor, Complete

The Rochard retractor is a table-mounted costal margin retractor for upper abdominal surgery. This listing covers the complete set, in a single or double version.

What it does

The system lifts the rib margin and holds it up for the length of the case. As a result, the surgeon gains a clearer view of the upper abdomen. Also, no assistant has to keep pulling by hand.

Single or double

The single version gives one lifting point. By contrast, the double version adds a second point for wider access. So contact us if you want help matching the version to your technique.

A complete set

This listing covers a complete set rather than single parts. That way, you get a working system in one order. However, you can add parts such as a V-shape attachment later.

Where teams use it

Upper GI, liver and gallbladder teams often choose the Rochard retractor for open cases. Because it mounts to the table, it keeps its lift steady. Then the surgeon can focus on the field instead of on retraction.

Reprocessing Rochard retractor

Break the set down into its parts before you clean it. Then wash each joint and clamp point, and check for any stiff movement. Finally, dry everything and keep the parts together in one labeled tray.
