Indications, Safety, and WarningsThe RadiaLux™ lighted retractor is a single-use retractor designed to provide surgeons with the ability to manipulate soft tissue through a combination of blades, when assembled onto a retractor handle. The retractor provides illumination to the surgical field independent of an external light source or fiber optic cables.The lighted retractor is indicated for enhancing visibility to a surgical field through the retraction of soft tissue and illumination of the surgical cavity. It is intended for but not limited to general, plastic, and reconstructive procedures in breast, and open abdominal surgery procedures.Warnings
