Simple, Efficient and Atraumatic Liver Retraction

Nathanson Liver Retractors from Mediflex® have proven to be ideal for laparoscopic liver retraction as they support the entire liver to provide atraumatic exposure. The retractors feature a hexagonal proximal end which fits securely into the Quick-Connect hex fitting of Mediflex® Holding and Positioning Systems. This direct attachment prevents axial rotation and liver slippage - a common problem with other holding systems. Mediflex® offers the largest selection of Nathanson Liver Retractors on the market - available individually or as sets to accommodate all patients and procedures, including bariatrics, pediatrics and robotics.

• Used in upper GI, bariatric, and GERD procedures
• Robotic versions to prevent interference with robot arm movement
• Eliminates the need of an assistant to hold the liver retractor
• Hexagonal lock fitting eliminates retractor slippage and axial rotation
• Reduced trauma compared to hand-held liver retractors
