The Smithwick Nerve Retractor offers a broad range of benefits during spinal surgeries. Its principal use is to provide a safe and efficient way to manipulate nerves during laminectomy, discectomy and other procedures.
For this purpose, the instrument features a double-ended design, which is ideal to perform different surgical actions. For example, one of the ends has a curved, blunt hook for grasping and pulling back the nerves. The opposite end features a round-edged spatula for retracting other structures, such as connective tissue.
Moreover, the Smithwick Nerve Retractor features a central, solid handle that ensures a firm gripping. As a result, surgeons prevent finger strain and slippage throughout the procedures.
Manufactured in premium grade stainless steel with a fine satin finish that reduces glare.
