Rapid Retraction. Superior Exposure.
No Table Attachment.
The TITAN CSR
TM
The TITAN CSRâ„¢ is a lightweight surgical retractor that combines the speed of self-retaining retractors and the exposure of traditional table-mounted systems, all without a table attachment.
1
Efficient
Expanding Modular Arms rapidly retract and eliminate the need for multiple retractors or rings.
2
Effective
Four-blade configuration provides superior exposure and prevents unintended rotation.
3
Adaptable
Compatible with Bookwalter® blades for exposure of deep and retroperitoneal structures, the TITAN CSR™ accommodates incisions from 13 to 37+ cm lengths.
The Problem
Surgeons are currently forced to choose between speed and functionality when selecting surgical retractors. Their options are:


Self-retaining retractors which provide rapid retraction but limited exposure

Table-mounted retractors which provide optimal exposure but require time-intensive assembly and setup
The Solution
The TITAN CSRâ„¢ combines the advantages of multiple retractors in one novel device:


Designed for
ease-of-use and quick assembly, the TITAN
is 7X faster to setup compared to table-mounted systems

Post-Freeâ„¢ design eliminates post-related obstructions and setup challenges

Lightweight
Titanium construction, weighs two pounds

Post Freeâ„¢
Enables quick assembly and eliminates post-related setup challenges

Modular Design
Allows rapid assembly around surgeon's hands when manually controlling life-threatening hemorrhage
Rapid Modular Assembly
Compatible with Bookwalter® Attachments
Adjustable
Ring Height
"
I would use the TITAN CSRâ„¢ ... every time because it's faster, more easily deployed, provides the exposure of the abdomen I need, and is adaptable."
