The TLC® Self-Retaining Retractor System* has been designed so the surgeon can gently retract and secure the delicate soft tissue away from the operative surface. It allows the surgeon to perform the procedure without stay-sutures or assistance. This controlled versatility will give the surgical assistant the freedom to do other tasks, which will broaden the range of procedures the surgeon can perform single-handedly.

Retractor Rings

• Affords the surgeon clear, unimpeded access to the surgical site
• Offers increased control, support and exposure in multiple planes of retraction.
• Molded, disposable plastic ring is cost-effective by reducing labor, cleaning and re-sterilization costs.
• Advanced one-piece construction eliminates the risk of detachment.
• Low-profile concave structure increases the accessibility of the Stays for ease of placement.
• Malleable hinges allow the retractor ring to adapt to the patient's anatomy quickly and easily.

Tissue Stay Hooks

• Ribbing on stays provide a secure fit into the ring, virtually eliminating slippage and risk of popping out.
• Finger grip on the stay enhances holding power, affording the surgeon increased control and safety.
