Self-Retaining Surgical Retractors Dominate the Global Surgical Retractor Market

Based on product types, the global surgical retractor market can be grouped into hand retractors, self-retaining retractors, table-mounted retractors, and wire retractors, accessories. Among these, the self-retaining surgical retractor holds the largest market share. The growth of the segment can be attributed to various favorable factors. For instance, with a self-retracting retractor, surgery can be performed without the need for a second assistant, thereby reducing crowding at the operating table. In addition to freeing the assistant from holding the retractor, these medical equipment also assist with exposure, homeostasis, closure, and other intraoperative technical functions that are of benefit to the surgeon. Additionally, self-retaining retractors allow for continuous adequate exposure, and reduced risk of infection, with increased efficiency. Because of these advantages, self-retaining surgical retractors hold the largest market share in the global surgical retractor market.
