Benefits of the Heaney Retractor:
• Optimal Bladder Retraction: The 90° angled blade allows for secure and gentle displacement of the urinary bladder from the operative site (e.g., uterus, cervix) during abdominal or vaginal hysterectomies.
• Clear Access to the Pouch of Douglas: Ideal for exposing and dissecting the deep pelvic space between the uterus/rectum and the posterior bladder wall.
• Protection of the Bladder and Ureters: The blunt design minimizes the risk of iatrogenic injury to the bladder wall or the ureteral orifices.
• Standard Instrument in Gynecology: An indispensable basic instrument for radical and simple hysterectomies, myomectomies, and other major gynecological procedures.
• Versatile Application: Also valuable in urological surgery (e.g., cystectomies) and colorectal surgery during deep pelvic procedures.
