ladyfinger retractor - SM - je suis MT

Posted: Dec 14, 2011

The site "Instrument Guru" lists it as "Lady Finger" and says it's the same as a Richardson.

A query on The Great Dictator (about another subject) shows it written "ladyfinger".

It sounds pretty clear just can't find a solid reference. Anyone know this one and able to give a reliable source?

Thanks.

cannot document, maybe some info on the procedure - would help someone help you

Sorry - you're right.
It's a lap chole.

"The supraumbilical cutdown, to and through the anterior rectus sheath, horizontally, was followed by elevation of the rectus sheath. The posterior rectus sheath was sharply dissected and opened, and then the peritoneum was bluntly dissected and entered. The ladyfinger retractor was placed in that opening to stretch it, and the 11 mm port, with the balloon tip as a Hasson modification, was placed. "

I found this - sm
