VSC Laparoscopic Fan Retractor 3 Blade

A fan retractor, also known as a fan retractor system or fan retractor instrument, is a surgical tool used in various surgical procedures to retract tissues and provide exposure of the surgical site. It consists of multiple fan-shaped retractors connected by a central hub or handle. The retractors can be individually positioned and adjusted to hold tissues away from the surgical field, allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure effectively. Here are some common uses of a fan retractor:

1. Abdominal Surgeries: In abdominal surgeries, such as laparotomy or exploratory laparoscopy, a fan retractor can be used to retract the abdominal wall and adjacent structures. It helps provide a clear view of the surgical site, enabling the surgeon to access and manipulate organs or perform procedures such as tumor resection, hernia repair, or bowel surgery.
2. Thoracic Surgeries: Fan retractors can be utilized in thoracic surgeries, such as lung resection or open-heart procedures. They aid in retracting the ribs, chest wall, or lung tissue to create space for the surgeon to access the target area and perform the necessary surgical interventions.
3. Orthopaedic Surgeries: In orthopaedic surgeries, a fan retractor may be used to retract soft tissues, muscles, or tendons to gain access to bones or joint spaces. It facilitates exposure during procedures such as joint replacement, fracture repair, or spinal surgeries.
4. Neurosurgery: In certain neurosurgical procedures
