Lobster™ Table Mounted Wishbone Retractor System
The Lobster™ Table Mounted Wishbone Retractor System is a versatile self-retaining retraction platform designed to provide stable exposure across a wide range of surgical procedures. Suitable for general, abdominal, urology, vascular, bariatric and paediatric surgery, the system offers flexibility, reliability and ease of use in demanding operating theatre environments.
A key advantage of the Lobster™ system is its compatibility with Omnitract™-style retractor systems. Table posts, bars, blades and clamps are fully interchangeable, allowing healthcare providers to integrate the system into existing setups, expand current inventories or build a bespoke configuration tailored to their clinical requirements.
