?:definition
  • Surgical retractors designed to temporarily separate and hold back any of the various abdominal organs, exposing and providing access to other tissues, organs, or abdominal structures. These retractors are manual, handheld instruments, usually with wide, deep blades capable of holding back the intra-abdominal organs, frequently by placing abdominal packs between the organ and the retractor. Abdominal organ retractors are available in a variety of shapes and styles and are selected according to the thoracic structure or organ to be exposed or retracted. Dedicated abdominal retractors are available for particular structures and/or organs (e.g., liver, gall bladder).
