Urinary tract surgical retractors designed to temporarily separate and hold back the urinary bladder, exposing and providing access to other tissues, urinary tract, and associated structures. These retractors are usually handheld manual instruments available in a variety of shapes and sizes and selected according to the structure or organ to be exposed. Some instruments include fiber optics to provide illumination to the surgical area. Dedicated self-retained bladder retractors including appropriate mechanisms are also available.
