retractor confusion
Subject: retractor confusion

Stedman's 3rd edition Ortho Word Book shows Hohmann retractor and Homan retractor...but no Holman listing. Stedman's Medical Equipment shows "Hohmann," "Holman lung" and a plain "Holman" listed under retractors...but no Homan (as found in Ortho). Logically, since Holman does not appear in the Ortho listings and Homan does not appear in the Equipment lisings, that leaves Hohmann....but also leaves one to wonder what the plain "Holman" retractor is in the Equipment book and why the Ortho book shows the "Homan". Still confused.

Hi,

I know this post would not be of any help to the person who originally asked the question, since it was posted nearly a year ago, but I'm hoping it could come of help to anyone else looking for the same word now.

The word that sounds like Lexis retractor is actually Alexis retractor, and comes up in Google search as Alexis wound retractor.

Charnley retractor....sm
Subject: Charnley retractor....sm

The use of a Charnley retractor enables a surgeon in a community hospital to perform an intertrochanteric hip fracture procedure with only the aid of a scrub technician. The Charnley retractor will hold Bennett retractors placed superiorly and inferiorly to the femoral neck--thus making it easy to obtain exposure.
