The Gelpi Retractor Non-Conductive is a specialized self-retaining retractor designed for use in surgical procedures where electrosurgical instruments are present. It features the classic Gelpi design—two sharp, curved tips that anchor into tissue—but is constructed from a non-conductive material, such as medical-grade polymer. This critical safety feature prevents the accidental transmission of electrical current from electrocautery devices through the retractor, thereby protecting both the patient and surgical team from unintended burns or electrical interference during procedures in general, orthopedic, and spinal surgery.

Key Features:

  • Non-Conductive Material: Prevents electrical current transfer, enhancing safety during electrocautery use.

  • Self-Retaining Design: Sharp, curved tips anchor into tissue, and a ratcheted spreader maintains position hands-free.

  • Ideal for Deep & Superficial Exposure: Provides stable retraction in various surgical fields.

  • Enhanced Safety: Eliminates risk of being an alternate pathway for electrosurgical current.

  • Lightweight & Durable: Polymer construction is robust yet easy to handle and sterilize.

  • Essential for Safe OR Practice: A vital tool for maintaining a safe surgical environment when using energy-based devices.

Ensure patient and staff safety during energized procedures. The Gelpi Non-Conductive Retractor from Medic instrument provides reliable, stable retraction without the risk of electrical conduction.
