The Leyla Self Retaining Brain Retractor is a highly specialized tool that demands precise usage for effective results in brain surgery. This guide will help you master its application and achieve the best surgical outcomes.
1. Preparing the Retractor
Begin by securing the fixation base to a stable platform, such as the operating table or an extracranial holder. Ensure that the base is tightly fixed to prevent movement during surgery.
2. Attaching Flexible Arms
Connect the desired number of flexible arms (single or double) to the coupling head. Adjust the arms into position using the ball-and-socket joints, which provide multidirectional movement.
3. Positioning Spatula Supports
Choose the appropriate spatula support—flat or round—based on the surgical requirements. Attach the spatulas securely to the arms. These supports help manipulate brain tissues without causing injury.
4. Optimizing Retraction
Use the holding rod to adjust the angle and direction of tissue retraction. Make minor adjustments as needed to maintain a clear view of the surgical site while ensuring gentle handling of delicate tissues.
Mastering the Leyla Retractor’s usage not only enhances surgical precision but also ensures the safety and well-being of patients during intricate procedures.
