Lobster Frame

Structured Support for Controlled Retraction

The Lobster Frame is a frame-style retraction instrument used to help maintain tissue exposure during operative work. Its structured design provides a stable foundation for positioning retraction elements while keeping the working area more accessible to the surgical team. By supporting organized placement around the operative field, it can help reduce the need for repeated manual adjustment and promote a more consistent workflow. The frame is suited to tasks that require sustained exposure and coordinated instrument handling, while its practical value depends on appropriate selection, placement, and use according to facility procedures.

Use Cases

• Support retraction around an operative field when sustained exposure is required.
• Help organize and maintain the position of retraction elements during surgical tasks.
• Assist with coordinated handling when access to the working area must be preserved.
• Use as part of a controlled setup where stable frame-supported retraction is appropriate.

Care & Handling

• Clean the frame promptly after use in accordance with facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the frame before and after use for visible soil, damage, deformation, or other conditions that could affect handling.
• Handle and store the frame carefully to help prevent contact damage, contamination, or unintended deformation.
