Frequently asked questions
Is this retractor built to last?
Yes, this instrument is constructed from high-quality stainless steel for durability and is supported by a Lifetime Warranty, reflecting Sklar’s confidence in its long-term reliability and performance.
Can this instrument be clamped in place?
Yes. Unlike grip-style models, this retractor features a flat handle design specifically engineered so it can be securely clamped into a fixed position during procedures when mechanical assistance is required.
Is this suitable for repeated surgical use?
Absolutely. It is a reusable surgical instrument designed for repeated use in clinical settings. Please note that it arrives non-sterile and must be properly processed according to your facility’s protocols before use.
Is this device safe for latex-sensitive environments?
Yes, this product is explicitly not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical teams and patients with latex sensitivities.
What procedures is this retractor best for?
It is ideal for abdominal and thoracic procedures. Its 8-inch length and thin, flat blade are specifically designed to effectively hold back the abdominal wall or manipulate internal organs to improve visibility.
Does this instrument meet professional standards?
Yes, it is TAA compliant, meeting the standards set by the Trade Agreements Act. This indicates a high level of manufacturing quality and compliance suitable for professional medical use.
How does the flat handle benefit surgeons?
The flat handle provides superior stability when mechanical retraction is needed. This allows the surgeon or assistant to keep the retractor perfectly positioned without needing to manually hold it throughout the duration of a task.
How should I prepare this for surgery?
As this is a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is delivered non-sterile. It must undergo your facility’s standard cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization cycles before it can be introduced to the operative field.
Why choose Sklar brand surgical instruments?
Sklar is recognized for professional-grade surgical instruments. This retractor (Model 22-8180) offers a durable, high-quality build designed to resist corrosion and withstand the rigors of frequent surgical use.
Does the blunt tip help during retraction?
Yes, the blunt tip configuration is specifically chosen to provide effective tissue displacement while minimizing the risk of accidental trauma or damage to delicate internal structures during deep tissue exposure.
