Bookwalter IMA Retractor System Description:
Overview
The Bookwalter IMA Retractor System is designed for gentle and controlled lifting of the chest wall during Internal Mammary Artery (IMA) harvesting. This system allows precise elevation with minimal force, helping surgeons maintain clear access while protecting surrounding tissue. The IMA Ratchet Mechanism uses a micro twist ratchet that lifts the blade in very small steps, less than 1 mm per adjustment.
