Surgical retractors are handheld surgical instruments used by a surgeon during surgical procedure. Surgical retractors are used manually or by through a robot method. Surgical retractors are also categorized into handheld and self-retaining. These instruments are available in different shapes, sizes, and styles for use in different types of surgery. Surgical retractors are also referred as surgical detractors. Surgical retractor is a simple steel tool with a curvy or angled blade at one end and a handle to hold it comfortably.
A surgeon needs to choose an appropriate retractor according to the need of the surgery. For example, hand-cranked surgical retractor is used for rib surgery, and a thoracic retractor is employed for thoracic surgeries. Both reusable and disposable surgical retractors are available in the market. Surgical retractors are used to separate the edges of surgical incision or wound and to hold back tissue or organ.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 4,511 surgical procedures were performed per 100,000 people in 2012. Rise in prevalence and incidence of chronic diseases has increased the number of surgical procedures globally, which is a primary factor driving the surgical retractors market.

Two of these chronic diseases heart disease and cancer accounted for nearly 46% of all deaths.

Stringent regulations by the FDA for the approval of surgical equipment is anticipated to hamper the growth of the market.
