Jansen Scalp Retractor is a handheld instrument that is ideal for the use of lifting the scalp from the skull to provide more accessibility for the surgeon. Surgeries that may involve the need to access this region include cochlear implant procedures. The retractor also contains a device that allows it to be held in place once it is positioned so that the surgeon can continue the operation without manually holding the retractor. Depending on the incision and thickness of the area, this instrument is offered in different sized spreads and prong styles.
