Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades
Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades (Product Code: SLE/SI/12) is a self-holding abdominal retractor used to keep skin, fatty tissue, muscle and viscera drawn back after the incision so the operative field stays exposed during abdominal surgery. General surgeons and obstetric teams value its locking mechanism, two mobile side blades and removable middle blade, which open a wound to approximately 100 mm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment exporter from India.

What Is the Collin Abdominal Retractor Used For?
Once the abdominal wall is opened, the two side blades are placed against the wound edges and spread apart, and the lock holds them there without an assistant. The middle blade can then be fitted to hold back the lower or upper end of the wound, or left off when it is not needed. This frees the assistant's hands for suction, swabbing or handing instruments during a laparotomy or caesarean section.
Open the frame gradually rather than to its full 100 mm span at once, and release the lock before removing the blades. Operating-room technicians should practise fitting and releasing the middle blade on the bench; surgical skills courses often cover this as part of lab equipment training in India before staff use the retractor in theatre.
What to Specify When Ordering
