A self-retaining laminectomy retractor is a surgical tool designed to hold the edges of an incision open during spinal procedures. By maintaining a clear view of the vertebral arch, these instruments allow surgeons to access the spinal cord to address issues like tumors, fractures, or disc protrusions.
These stainless steel instruments are designed for multiple uses and must be cleaned and sterilized between procedures. They are available in various configurations, often featuring curved, hooked blades that secure the surrounding tissue throughout the operation.
