SLR-Retractor System
Subcutaneous lumbar retractor
SLR is a subcutaneous lumbar retractor system and the blades are made of titanium. This system protects the tissue and reduces the skin incision.
Side-loading attachment
This special design enables the connection of the retractor to the already inserted and hand held blades in a side-loading manner. The retractor arms are set under the handles (with fixes the blades into place) by spreading of the retractor.
The side-loading design is 100% compatible to the already existing B. Braun Aesculap ball-snap closure. It can be used and interchanged in all combinations.
