Pretzel-Shaped Laparoscopic Retractor
The unique shape of the Snowden-Pencer pretzel-shaped laparoscopic
retractor lets you retract large organs or other structures while still
requiring just a small incision. The shape also enables stronger grip compared to traditional retractor shapes, but still uses the same 5mm shaft
as all Snowden-Pencer laparoscopic retractors to help ensure smaller
incisions, says the company. To form the retractor into the pretzel shape,
you simply turn the knob on the handle.
