Description
Lukens Thymus Retractor
The Lukens Thymus Retractor, Double Ended is a specialized surgical instrument used for precise tissue retraction in thoracic, neck, and mediastinal procedures, particularly thymectomy and thyroid surgeries. This retractor is designed with a dual-ended blade, offering two different curvature profiles to accommodate varying surgical depths and anatomical spaces.
Crafted by NAZMED SMS SDN BHD under the highly regarded SMS brand, this retractor is manufactured from premium German stainless steel, ensuring excellent durability, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with repeated autoclaving.
The top end of the instrument features a minimal curve, ideal for shallow retractions or delicate soft tissue separation in the cervical and upper thoracic regions. This gentle curve provides controlled tissue handling with minimal trauma—especially important in surgeries around critical structures such as the trachea, esophagus, or vessels.
The bottom end of the retractor offers a strong curve, ideal for deeper access in the anterior mediastinum, or during wide exposure of the thymus gland, lymphatic tissue, or great vessels. This side enables efficient displacement of soft tissue and organs, improving visibility and minimizing the need for manual retraction.
Key features of the Lukens Double-Ended Thymus Retractor include:
- Dual-use design for versatility in thoracic and neck procedures
- Ergonomic handle for stable grip and optimal control
- Satin-finish surface to reduce tissue glare and increase visibility
- Ideal for use in pediatric and adult thoracic surgeries
Surgeons prefer this tool for its adaptability, balance, and gentle yet firm retraction—especially in procedures involving sternal split approaches, thyroid gland exposure, and anterior mediastinal tumor resection.
As part of the SMS surgical medical supplies lineup, this retractor is CE-certified, autoclavable, and reusable, adhering to international surgical instrument standards for performance, hygiene, and longevity.
NAZMED SMS SDN BHD continues to support surgical teams worldwide with instruments that meet the highest expectations for quality and functionality. The Lukens Thymus Retractor, Double Ended is an essential tool for any surgical setting focused on precision, versatility, and efficiency.
