The new Navarro Thoracic Retractor from Delacroix-Chevalier gives surgeons a much better field of view into the chest opening than normal retractors as it has angled blades that create a conical field of view rather than a cylindrical one.
It also has a range of extra blades that can be mounted directly on the retractor and so avoid using a second retractor.
Features and Benefits
- Expands the field of vision from cylindrical to conical by using angled blades (see photo below)
- The main arms open the chest from outside the wound borders
- Blades are curved and articulated to closely follow the chest curvature
- Smooth surface with rounded ends
- 8 possible blade configurations
- Range of blade options to cater for any size of patient
The tilted face design means that they pull apart soft tissue as well as the ribs and form a conical opening
3 positions on the arm and several more on the blade of the sliding rack
