Clinical Application
This frame is the structural component for a Turner‑Warwick self‑retaining retractor system. It creates and maintains a broad, stable working aperture for deep soft‑tissue exposure in open abdominal and pelvic procedures and other operations that require sustained, hands‑free retraction. Used with compatible blades, hooks, and attachments, the frame supports sequential placement of retraction elements to optimize visualization and access to the wound without constant manual hold.
Design & Configuration
The oval geometry produces a continuous, wide opening that approximates common incision shapes for laparotomy and pelvic access. The 457 x 330 mm footprint delivers a large working aperture for retraction of flaps and viscera while permitting placement of multiple blades or hooks along the perimeter. A dedicated frame component simplifies assembly of the Turner‑Warwick system and provides the rigid support needed to maintain consistent tension throughout prolonged procedures.
