ST. PAUL, Minn., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Omni-Tract(R) Surgical, a medical device company that develops and markets surgical products, has launched the Omni-Flex(TM) Retractor System worldwide. The Omni-Flex System is the newest generation of table-mounted surgical retractor systems providing optimal exposure in a variety of surgical procedures. The new system offers added strength for larger patients and gives surgeons the flexibility needed for both minimally invasive and standard procedures. The company will introduce the Omni-Flex System at the annual conference of the Association of peri-Operative Registered Nurses, March 19-23, 2006 in Washington, DC. The system will be introduced internationally at the European Association of Urology on April 5 in Paris, France.
Table-mounted surgical retraction offers hands-free access to the operative site. The Omni-Flex System gives hospitals the flexibility to use the same basic system in a variety of procedures while offering surgeons the latest in technology. With specialized retractor blades, the system provides unparalleled exposure in vascular, general, urology, orthopaedic, pediatric, transplant, and other surgical procedures.
"The Omni-Flex Retractor System offers the flexibility for virtually any surgical procedure through the removable, interchangeable frame. It's nimble enough for smaller incisions and strong enough for larger patients," said Steve LeVahn, President and CEO for Omni-Tract Surgical. "Our new, proprietary SideSnap(TM) clamp lets a surgeon quickly place a retractor wherever it is needed. This new system reflects our commitment to improving surgery through innovative solutions."
The Omni-Flex line of surgical retractors has helped hospitals standardize successfully with a single retractor set that can be used by the entire surgical staff. With the standardized Omni-Flex System, OR personnel can use consistent equipment in any procedure. Since each system is identical, hospital personnel know exactly which parts to include -- improving operating efficiency and reducing the possibility of introducing errors.
