RI-000048 “Scoville, Frame only Abdominal Retractors” are a type of surgical instrument used during abdominal surgeries. These retractors consist of a frame that is designed to hold open the edges of an incision in the abdomen, providing a clear view of internal organs and tissues so that the surgeon can perform the procedure safely and effectively. The Scoville, Frame only Abdominal Retractors are named after their inventor, Dr. William Scoville. They do not include blades or prongs, but instead consist of a metal frame that can be adjusted to fit the size and shape of the incision. The frame is typically held in place by a set of adjustable arms or clamps that attach to the operating table.
