SURTEX® Lukens Thymus Retractors help surgeons to make openings in the front of the neck in upper airway disease. In addition, patients can breathe through this opening instead of using tubes in the mouth.

Surgeons use the device to pull the glands and the muscles in the front of the neck. This prevents injuring the back of the airways with sharp forces or instruments. In addition, using the retractor makes the trachea stable during deep cuts.

We designed the central handle with a long profile to enhance your control and balance. Moreover, its flat shape prevent accidental slips and mistakes in vital incisions.

The two prongs have blunt ends with opposite curves to avoid tissue tears and vessel injury. In addition, their narrow necks allow you to see the underlying tissues clearly.

You can use one blade to pull the tissues while the other blade serves as a grip handle to apply an ideal force.

The SURTEX® Lukens Thymus Retractor is 17.5 cm in size and has a slender profile so it can pass easily into small areas.

SURTEX® Instruments manufacture these devices from premium grade stainless steel that you can depend on for years of fine service in neck procedures.
