Self-Retaining Retractors are surgical instruments used to hold tissues and organs apart during a surgical procedure, allowing the surgeon to access the area of interest more easily and conveniently. These retractors are designed to stay open on their own, meaning that they require no assistance to keep them open. This allows the surgeon to have two free hands while operating. Self-retaining retractors usually have some type of clamp or ratchet mechanism to hold the tissue in place, such as a screw or a ratchet. This allows the retractor to remain in place without the need for additional assistance. The use of self-retaining retractors provides surgeons with greater flexibility and control during the operation, making it easier and faster for them to perform their work.
