A Table-Fixed Retractor System
The Bookwalter Self-Retaining Retractor System supplied by Symmetry Surgical is the only genuine Bookwalter on the market and is an example of Symmetry's continuous innovation. It is a table-fixed retractor system designed by surgeons to efficiently and reliably hold surgical instruments in place during surgery while allowing great visibility. This retractor supports a wide variety of configurations for various surgical disciplines. The Bookwalter continues to be at the forefront in retraction innovation, with the release of the amazing Rotilt Ratchet.
The Bookwalter retractor is a device used by surgeons to separate or hold back the ends of a surgical incision, mainly in the chest or the abdomen. When surgeons need to convert from a laparoscopic case to open abdominal surgery, they often shout: “Get the Bookwalter!”.
