摘要:
Some devices for atraumatic retraction of tissue include a transcatheter deployable mesh hammock that is well-suited for laparoscopic, endoscopic, and robotic surgeries. Methods for atraumatic retraction of tissue include wrapping a mesh material around the tissue in a cradle-like fashion. In some embodiments, magnetic coupling of the proximal and distal ends of the mesh material can provide tissue containment and retractor securement to facilitate tissue retraction.
