The device owners bowel retractors eliminate the time-consuming mobilization of the small intestines while they stabilize the bowels, allowing for a clear view of the operative site. Given the increased demand of laparoscopic surgeries in which the device owners device is helpful (approaching 5 million surgeries per year) the time saved after only a few uses of the device owners device is significant enough to benefit hospitals in allowing them to host another surgery that is waiting in the backlog. The device owners devices, thus, are not only beneficial for the patients since they minimize trauma and complications but also highly profitable for the hospitals.
