Lung Retractor
A Lung Retractor is a broad, smooth-bladed surgical instrument designed to gently retract and hold lung tissue aside during thoracic procedures. Its design is specifically atraumatic to prevent injury to the delicate lung parenchyma. It provides the surgeon with critical exposure of the mediastinum, hilum, or other thoracic structures during operations such as lobectomy, pneumonectomy, or esophageal surgery, ensuring a clear operative field while protecting vital respiratory tissue.
