A retractor is a surgical instrument used in orthopedics to pull back tissue and bones during surgical procedures to allow better access to the surgical site. These retractors are specially designed for the requirements of orthopedic surgery, which often involves deep incisions and manipulation of bones and joints.
Orthopedic retractors work by pulling tissue and bones to the side or upward to expose the surgical area and provide the surgeon with a clear view and access. They can be hand-held or self-retaining, with the latter allowing for continuous retraction without the need for additional support.
