SURE Retractors Inc., a medical device company that has developed a range of retractors for spinal surgery, showcased its new single-use Cervical and Mini-open Retractor at Becker’s Healthcare’s Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC Conference, which took place June 16 – June 18 at Swissotel Chicago.
This was the first time the device was showcased in the United States. Attendees of the conference were able to inspect the single-use cervical and mini-open retractor.
According to Dr. John K. Starr, “Surgeons require exceptional visualization to perform spinal procedures safely. The clear SURE retractor blades offer unparalleled visualization of the tissues and assessment of locally applied pressure. SURE provides surgeons with the confidence that everything necessary to complete a sophisticated procedure is available every time. There will be no sterility issues and no availability concerns. Everything necessary is included in the sterile, surgery-ready kit. Efficiency in the hospital OR and particularly the ASC is assured, without concern about missing or damaged elements or sterile processing errors.”
With SURE Retractors, users can maximize their operational and logistical efficiency, which also helps more cases to be planned with certainty. The increase in throughput, reduced OR time, mitigated risks and eliminated sterilization costs can help to unlock substantial additional profit for each surgery undertaken.
SURE has filed patents for its technology around the world.
