Additional Information for Sternum Retractor
Sternum retractors are medical instruments used during surgical procedures to provide access and visibility to the sternum (breastbone) area. They are specifically designed to retract the tissues and hold them apart, allowing surgeons to perform procedures on the underlying structures.
These retractors are commonly used in cardiac surgeries, such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or open-heart surgeries. They help in exposing the heart and other structures in the chest cavity, providing a clear surgical field for the surgeon.
Sternum retractors typically consist of a handle and two or more blades or prongs that can be adjusted to hold the sternum apart. The blades are inserted on either side of the sternum and then expanded or adjusted to retract the tissues gently. This allows the surgeon to access the heart or other structures without causing excessive trauma to the surrounding tissues.
There are various types of sternum retractors available, including Sternal Saw Retractors, Sternal Spreaders, and Sternal Hooks. Each type has its own design and features, depending on the specific surgical procedure and surgeon's preference.
It is important to note that sternum retractors should only be used by trained medical professionals who are familiar with their proper usage and sterilization procedures.
