Yes, this model is specifically CensiTrac marked to support your instrument tracking and management systems.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This retractor is manufactured as latex-free and is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for latex-sensitive surgical environments.
Can this retractor be reused after sterilization?
Yes, it is designed for repeated sterilization. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, it is a durable, reusable instrument built to withstand the rigors of standard surgical cleaning protocols.

The retractor measures 5-1/2 inches in total length, making it ideal for maintaining clear exposure in smaller surgical sites.
