Symmetry Medical is releasing its new Bookwalter Self-Retaining Rotilt Ratchet, a low profile surgical retractor that combines many features of its predecessors in one device. It includes locking tilt and locking rotation and is compatible with all former Bookwalter retractor components. From the announcement:
Dr. John Bookwalter, surgeon inventor of the Bookwalter Retractor System, said, “By combining rotation, tilt and self-retraction into a single ratchet, we’ve created a device that more closely mimics the natural toe-in motion of handheld retractors while retaining the benefits of table-mounted ring retractors. The Self-Retaining Rotilt Ratchet is the product of three decades of innovation and continuous improvement.”
“Symmetry Surgical is dedicated to collaborating with our customers and responding to surgeon and clinician needs with new innovations,” said Chris Huntington, Chief Operating Officer, Symmetry Surgical. “Our customers appreciated the features available with past generations of Bookwalter ratchets. By combining the best elements of our legacy ratchets into the new Self-Retaining Rotilt Ratchet, we’re providing greater value in the surgical market and helping clinicians deliver exceptional patient care.”
