Designed at the table, not the desk

Retractors & Instruments
Surgeon-designed instrumentation

Every reference in this range started as a complaint from a real theatre. Soft-tissue-friendly curvature, ergonomic handles, and a flat grip profile engineered to lock cleanly into the Gripper™ System.

Retractors & Instruments

The blade is only half the instrument.

These retractors are designed to support precision, efficiency and safety in every orthopaedic procedure, with a strong focus on ergonomics and durability. Each was developed alongside a named surgeon for a specific approach — and each carries a flat handle profile optimised for the Gripper™ System, so the same instrument works held or fixed.
