Alexis Lighted System - Abdominal radial retractor

Intended purpose

The Alexis ViU Lighted Wound Protector-Retractor is a device that allows the surgeon to access the abdominal cavity through an atraumatically retracted wound, providing maximum exposure with minimum incision size. In addition to incision retraction, it is intended to provide supplemental illumination and protect against wound contamination during both laparoscopic and open surgery. The small and medium Alexis ViU Lighted Wound Protector-Retractors are capable of temporarily closing an incision to maintain pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery, or to serve as an additional trocar port site. In addition, indicated sizes may be used to access the thoracic cavity or other soft tissue retraction during cardiac and general surgical procedures.
