Surgeons and Interventionalists prefer the HIPster® panniculus retractor for patient positioning because, rather than manually manipulating the adipose during the procedure or taking precious time to tape the adipose in a retracted position, HIPster provides the clinician with a repeatable, predictable and reliable retraction that applies to the patient in seconds. It completely exposes the procedural site, reduces the distance to the target, protects the patient’s dermis, and will not migrate or tear. When the procedure is finished, it removes quickly without residue.
