Retractors & NOTES Tools

Why Retractors & NOTES Tools Matter

Effective tissue retraction and protected access are essential to safe and efficient minimally invasive surgery. High-quality wound retraction supports optimal exposure, reduces tissue trauma, and enables advanced surgical techniques, including single-incision and NOTES-style procedures.

Mindray and Sejong plastic wound retractors provide 360° atraumatic retraction and incision protection, enabling improved visualisation and procedural efficiency. Their flexible polymer ring systems allow the extraction site to function as a working access port, supporting streamlined workflows and optimised minimally invasive surgery.

Clinical Challenges & Solutions

Plastic wound retractors are increasingly used in minimally invasive and hybrid NOTES procedures to improve access and specimen extraction. However, conventional metal retractors may be associated with soft-tissue trauma, pressure-related injury, and limited visualisation of the operative field. These factors can compromise surgical precision, increase the risk of surgical site infection (SSI), and reduce overall procedural efficiency.

Mindray’s plastic wound retractors provide 360° atraumatic soft-tissue retraction, helping to reduce SSI, risk, maintain optimal incision moisture and temperature, and support protection against potential tumour cell contamination at the incision site.

Sejong retractors, available as standalone devices or integrated with Search Port and Multi-Port systems, utilise flexible polyurethane rings to enable atraumatic incision expansion. These systems allow surgeons to convert a standard specimen extraction site into a functional working port, reducing the need for additional trocars.

These wound retraction technologies enhance surgical workflow by combining atraumatic tissue protection with sustained access capabilities. By reducing tissue injury, supporting stable pneumoperitoneum, and enabling multi-instrument access through a single incision, they improve procedural efficiency and expand minimally invasive capability across general surgery, gynaecology, and upper GI procedures.

Clinical Value

360° Atraumatic Retraction –  Mindray and Sejong retractors distribute tension evenly, protecting incision edges, reducing tissue trauma, and supporting lower SSI risk.

Optimised Surgical Exposure – Expands the operative field without increasing incision size, improving visualisation and procedural access.

Flexible Polyurethane Ring Technology – Sejong high-elasticity rings adapt to varying abdominal wall thickness, supporting reliable performance in single-incision and NOTES-style procedures.

Extraction Site as Working Port – Enables conversion of the specimen removal incision into a multi-instrument access site, reducing the need for additional trocars and supporting procedural efficiency.

Maintained Pneumoperitoneum & Workflow Continuity –  Sejong multi-port systems incorporate sealing caps and valve technology to maintain CO₂ pressure, enabling seamless continuation of laparoscopic procedures following specimen extraction.

Optimised Incision Environment – Supports maintenance of incision moisture and temperature, contributing to tissue protection and improved healing conditions.

Clinical Evidence

Product data for Mindray wound retractors indicate reduced surgical site infection (SSI) risk and maintenance of incision moisture and temperature. Product and technical data for Sejong polyurethane retractors and multi-port systems support single-incision workflows, high elasticity performance, and reliable pneumoperitoneum with sealing caps.

Clinical Trust & Institutional Use

Mindray and Sejong wound retractors are widely used across minimally invasive surgical services globally, including colorectal, gynaecology, upper GI, and hepatobiliary procedures. They are trusted for improving access efficiency, reducing tissue trauma, and supporting advanced surgical techniques.
