Mediflex Surgical Products is a US-based medical device manufacturer founded in the late 1960s, with a long-standing focus on table-mounted retraction systems and surgical instrument positioning devices. The company is widely known for its Bookler® retractor systems—compatible with classic ratchet-style platforms—and for its StrongArm® holding and positioning arms, which provide stable, hands-free support for retractors, endoscopes, and surgical instruments. These systems are designed for both open and minimally invasive procedures, offering rigid fixation, rapid setup, and a simplified workflow compared to more complex modular platforms.
The Mediflex ENTrac™ Retraction System is a next-generation modular retraction platform specifically designed for head and neck surgery, with particular emphasis on Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS). Unlike traditional mouth gags or fixed laryngoscopes, ENTrac™ provides stable, table-mounted retraction using interchangeable rings, blades, ratchets, and positioning arms that can be tailored to the patient’s anatomy and the surgical approach. Its modular design allows surgeons to optimize exposure while minimizing interference with robotic instruments, making it suitable for both robotic and conventional transoral procedures. The lightweight system also helps reduce excessive jaw distraction compared with bulkier retractors, while its extensive range of retractor blades accommodates both superficial and deep surgical access. These features make the ENTrac™ system a versatile option for oropharyngeal, laryngeal, hypopharyngeal, and thyroid procedures, offering consistent exposure, improved ergonomics, and the potential to reduce the need for manual retraction by surgical assistants.
