FISH® Glassman Viscera Retainer | Simple Solution for Abdominal Closure | Adept-Med
The FISH®, Glassman Viscera Retainer
The Simple Solution for Abdominal Closure
Surgeons around the world began using the FISH®, Glassman Viscera Retainer more than 35 years ago. It offers a simple yet effective way to increase patient safety during abdominal closure.
Retain & Shield Delicate Tissue & Organs
The FISH® effectively retains the omentum and viscera during closure of the peritoneal cavity. It provides added anchorage and retentive power to speed closure and significantly reduce the risk of nicks and punctures. That means less trauma for patients and less liability for surgeons.
Leave Nothing Behind
The presence of the ring during abdominal closure is an effective indicator of a retained instrument. The pliable, sterile, latex-free material folds into a soft narrow roll for easy removal and disposal. Read more about preventing retained surgical items on the National Surgical Patient-Safety site.
