Press release: High quality, cost effective surgical retractor is welcomed by leading US hospital group

JUNE Medical is delighted to announce a new agreement with a major US hospital group to supply the award-winning Galaxy II^® self-retaining surgical retractors to over 1,600 hospitals in the US, commencing April 15, 2023. This game-changing device radically improves the safety and ease of surgical retraction for both patients and medical staff; its ergonomic design transforms the way in which surgeons work and it is particularly ideal for group purchasing organizations aspiring to supply their hospitals with high quality and competitively priced products.

JUNE Medical is an innovative, women-owned medical device company with an outstanding reputation for developing revolutionary medical equipment for surgeons across the world. Its Galaxy II self-retaining retractor was first developed to dramatically improve comfort and visualization for the operating room (OR) team during gynecological and urological surgery, but it has since been rapidly adopted by all surgical disciplines. The lightweight instrument’s cam lock system is self-retaining and allows single-handed adjustments without screws, removing the reliance on OR assistants to hold surgical sites open, and freeing up personnel for more pressing tasks. The retractor holds securely to the patient with low-profile hooks, giving surgeons control over the degree of tension and avoiding unnecessary trauma or tearing to the skin for better patient care. It is available in multiple frames with various hooks – from sharp to semi-blunt and blunt – and flexible options to suit any patient and any procedure.
