Listing

• Product: Pilling Thyroid Retractor (Specify Model if Known)

• Description: The Pilling Thyroid Retractor is a surgical instrument specifically designed to provide temporary exposure of the thyroid gland during thyroid surgery. It retracts (holds back) surrounding tissues, allowing for optimal visualization and access to the surgical field.

• Features:

  • Designed for thyroid surgery: The specific blade configuration and size are optimized for atraumatic (minimally damaging) retraction of tissues in the thyroid region.
  • Self-retaining mechanism: The retractor stays in place without requiring constant manual manipulation by the surgeon, improving efficiency and ease of use. (Note: Not all Pilling thyroid retractors may be self-retaining).
  • Various configurations: Pilling offers different thyroid retractor models with variations in blade shape, size, and handle design. Specify the model number or features if known (e.g., sharp vs. blunt prongs, single vs. double blade).
  • Stainless steel construction: Typically crafted from high-quality surgical grade stainless steel for durability and sterilization.

• Applications:

  • Thyroid surgery, including thyroidectomy (removal of the thyroid gland) and other thyroid gland procedures.
  • May also be suitable for use in some parathyroid gland surgeries.

Note:

• This is a surgical instrument intended for use by trained surgeons only.
• The sale of this item may be subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and state and local regulatory agencies. Only authorized healthcare facilities or professionals should purchase this device.
