Holding Retractors
Captions available
The idea
When asked to hold a retractor, the scrub person holds it steady and where the surgeon placed it.
In practice
Effective retraction depends on proper placement, gentle handling and coordination with the surgeon throughout the procedure.
Where people slip
Holding a retractor must not take the scrub person away from the sterile field or from watching the count.
