Additional Information for Plastic Surgery Retractor
Plastic surgery retractors are specialized instruments used in plastic surgery procedures to hold back tissues and provide better visibility and access to the surgical site. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Plastic surgery retractors are typically made of stainless steel or other medical-grade materials. They come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes and areas of the body. Some common types of plastic surgery retractors include:
1. Handheld Retractors: These retractors are manually operated by the surgeon or an assistant. They have a handle and a blade or prongs that can be adjusted to hold back the tissue.
2. Self-Retaining Retractors: These retractors have a mechanism that allows them to stay in place without the need for constant manual holding. They are often used in longer procedures or when the surgeon needs both hands free.
3. Rib Spreaders: These retractors are used in procedures that require access to the chest cavity, such as breast augmentation or reconstruction. They are designed to gently spread the ribs apart to provide better visibility and access.
4. Abdominal Retractors: These retractors are used in procedures involving the abdomen, such as tummy tucks or abdominoplasty. They are designed to hold back the abdominal muscles and tissues to expose the underlying structures.
5. Facial Retractors: These retractors are used in facial plastic surgery procedures, such as facelifts or rhinoplasty. They are designed to hold back the skin and soft tissues of the face to allow the surgeon to work on the underlying structures.
Plastic surgery retractors are essential tools in ensuring a successful and safe surgical procedure. They help the surgeon achieve optimal visibility and access to the surgical site, allowing for precise and accurate surgical techniques.
