Harrington Splanchnic Retractors

Harrington Splanchnic Retractors are specialized, broad-bladed abdominal retractors designed to provide deep, stable retraction of the liver and other upper abdominal viscera during major hepatobiliary and gastric surgery. Their distinctive, wide, gently curved blades allow for atraumatic displacement of organs like the left lateral liver lobe, creating a crucial “splanchnic” view of the esophagus, stomach, and celiac axis. This exposure is essential for complex procedures such as esophagectomy, gastrectomy, and liver resection, where optimal visualization of deep structures is paramount for safe dissection.

Key Features:

Wide, gently curved blades for broad, atraumatic retraction of abdominal viscera.
Specifically designed to retract the liver and expose the upper abdomen.
Essential for complex upper GI, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic surgery.
Provides deep, stable exposure of the esophageal hiatus and celiac region.
Helps protect the liver parenchyma and other delicate organs during retraction.
A fundamental retractor for advanced general and oncologic abdominal surgery.
