Askins Modified Cobra Retractor with Suction Tube
Designed by Vance Askins, MD
Allows an assistant to hold the retractor and operate two instruments: the retractor for visualization of the acetabulum as well as the suction tip for suction of smoke and debris from the wound and the acetabulum
Designed for use as a posterior inferior or anterior inferior retractor during minimally invasive hip procedures, the retractor features a suction tube located on the anterior portion of the retractor. The suction tube includes two additional holes along the shaft for suction of smoke out of the wound, while the distal tip allows for removal of blood and debris from the acetabulum.

Accuracy Statement for devices with a measuring function: Devices with a measuring function are considered non-critical, non-calibrated, and are intended for reference-only measurements. While it provides a helpful visual guide for relative measurements, it is not calibrated to specific precision standards. Measurements taken with this device should not be considered accurate enough for critical applications requiring strict dimensional tolerances. General manufacturing tolerances of +\- 1% at each graduation, or 2% of the full scale apply, but no conformance qualifications are provided or implied.
