Description
Harrington Retractors Flexible
Its also known as Harrington Splanchnic Retractor is a handheld, manual retractor used to hold back tissue and organs deep in the abdominal region. The heart shaped tip of the blade is designed to reduce trauma to organs such as the liver and intestines. This retractor has 123×45 mm and 123×63 mm curved blade and is 295 mm long overall. The handle has finger grips for a more secure hold and a hook at the bottom that can be used to rest the bottom finger and assist in the retraction process.
The Harrington Retractors Flexible by SMS Instruments are expertly designed to provide superior retraction of liver, bowel, and other soft abdominal structures during open abdominal surgeries. With its malleable stainless steel shaft and distinctive heart-shaped blade, this retractor is ideal for creating and maintaining a clear operative field in hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, and vascular procedures.
Known globally as the “Sweetheart Retractor,” the Harrington Flexible Retractor gently lifts and protects the liver or surrounding organs without trauma, making it especially valuable during procedures involving deep cavity exposure, such as gallbladder removal, liver resection, and aortic surgery. Its smooth blade edges and broad surface distribute pressure evenly, minimizing tissue damage and enabling prolonged retraction without compromise.
The flexible shaft allows the surgeon to custom-shape the instrument to fit individual patient anatomy or surgical approach, offering versatility and precision in confined or deep surgical sites. This adjustability ensures optimal access even in the most challenging conditions, improving efficiency, visibility, and surgical outcomes.
Manufactured from CE-certified surgical-grade stainless steel, the Harrington Flexible Retractor is autoclavable, corrosion-resistant, and highly durable for long-term operating room use. The satin matte finish reduces glare, aiding visibility under intense surgical lighting.
As part of the Abdominal and Intestinal Surgical Instruments category by NAZMED SMS SDN BHD, the SMS Harrington Retractors Flexible are trusted by surgeons worldwide for their clinical reliability, gentle tissue handling, and surgical versatility.
