| Retraction Action | |
| Clinimed’s latest retractor promises to increase exposure during lipo-abdominoplasty, making it easier for surgeons to repair the rectus diastasis and abdominal fascia. It boasts a concave blade design and a functional “T” shape along with “support bars” for added “stability” during lifting. Three sharp prongs on either side of the retractor make long-incision procedures slightly less labor-intensive by eliminating the need to hold the edges of the flap. Intrigued?

Laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels are effective for skin rejuvenation, but these ablative treatments also cause significant epidermal damage and tend to require a lot of downtime for patients. The Derma pen®, a fractional micro-needling device that uses 11 33-gauge stainless steel surgical needles to vertically pierce the skin, works just as well—minus the downtime and damage. |
