How does the ring handle assist during surgery?
The fenestrated tear drop handle includes a built-in finger ring, which provides the surgeon with a secure, ergonomic grip. This design facilitates greater control and stability, allowing for precise, single-handed operation during delicate procedures.
Does this product contain any latex materials?

How should I handle this instrument before first use?
This retractor is supplied non-sterile. Therefore, it must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for surgical instruments before it is used in any clinical procedure.
