Lobster Surgical Retractor 3.8 cm (1.5)

Controlled Retraction for General Surgical Access

The Lobster Splanchnic Swivel Retractor is a surgical retractor designed to help maintain exposure during general surgery and related retraction tasks. Its swivel configuration supports practical repositioning as the working angle changes, while the 1 1/2" x 6" profile provides a defined reach for managing access in the operative field. Constructed from aluminum, it offers a lightweight instrument option for routine handling. As part of a surgical retractor set, it can support organized workflows where dependable instrument placement, clear visualization, and controlled tissue retraction are important.
