Product Overview
While standard chain holders sit flush with the frame, the Elevated Chain Holder features a raised vertical pillar or “tower” design. This is the primary choice for surgeons who need to retract tissue over a bulky dressing, a prominent bony deformity, or an external fixation device. By lifting the point of tension away from the frame surface, it ensures that the Ball Chains do not press down on the patient’s skin, preventing pressure necrosis and maintaining a “dead-lock” on the operative window from a superior angle.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Clearance” Vertical Lift: Forged with a reinforced riser that moves the retraction point 2cm to 5cm above the frame. This allows the surgeon to achieve steep, “birds-eye” retraction angles that are impossible with flush-mounted hardware.
-
Stationary Multi-Axial Authority: The base is designed to lock securely into the peripheral slots of the Tupper’s Universal Hand Table. Once seated, the elevated pillar remains perfectly rigid, providing an unyielding anchor for high-tension retraction.
-
Atraumatic Chain Slot: The top of the holder features a precision-milled notch that “dead-locks” the ball chain links. This allows for micro-incremental adjustments of the retraction force while ensuring the chain never slips under load.
-
Obstruction-Free Ergonomics: By elevating the chains, this holder clears the workspace for microsurgical instruments and high-magnification loupes. This “beast” level of organization is vital when multiple digits are being retracted simultaneously.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is engineered to withstand the mechanical stress of high-torque retraction and is fully autoclavable for thousands of high-heat cycles.
