Max Retract® Clinical Validation
Reduced number of staff members were needed for manual retraction
Patient safety increased, while comfort and dignity were enhanced
No surgical site infection occurred. (SSIs are non-reimbursable and can cost the hospital more then $21,000.00)
Maintained 100% skin integrity with each use with a reduction in (MARSI) Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury
The retractor was faster and easier to apply any other measures currently being used, resulting in cost savings
