What Our Customers Say

“From a professor’s point of view, the residents are free from holding blades
and are more focused on learning the intricacies of the surgery itself. It’s a
complete partner!”



Prof. Xavier Berard, MD, PhD, FEBVS



“The surgeon and first assistant are completely hands free. No one has to hold
blades, the OneFrame™ does that for us.”



Prof. Xavier Berard, MD, PhD, FEBVS



“I don’t take the OneFrame™ out just for special occasions, it is my partner!
Every time I open the abdomen, I use it.”



Prof. Xavier Berard, MD, PhD, FEBVS



“The Thompson retractor is, in my view, the best retractor for complex HPB and
gastrointestinal surgeries. It has allowed us to minimize the incision for a
multi-visceral transplant, allowing it to be perform by a midline approach. The
exposure obtained and the independence provided to the surgeons and assistants,
provides the right setting for teaching. Every surgical department should have
one.”



Prof. Gabrial E. Gondolesi, MD, MAAC, FACS



“Thompson Surgical provides the most hassle-free, versatile retractor. For those
complex, difficult procedures, as well as the routine, its ease of setup,
strength and use, as well as lack of constant readjustment, always provides me
reliable and safe exposure. Hands down, this should be every surgeon’s go-to
retractor.”



Michael Nizzi, DO, FACOS



“For major vascular surgeries, I’m choosing the OneFrame®.”



Joseph C. Babrowicz, Jr., M.D.



“Having the PectusAssist in my armory, I can tackle more complex cases with an
eased mind — and to the satisfaction of the treated patients.”



Hans Van Veer, MD, FEBS-OGSurg



“The PectusAssist will help surgeons globally to perform safer and more
efficient surgery.”



Hans Van Veer, MD, FEBS-OGSurg



“The operation has become more consistent, and we have found that post-operative
pain has lowered significantly. Overall post- operative swelling and blood loss
seem to be much less of a problem due to the use of the retractor. We believe
the surgery has become less invasive and less traumatic.”



DR. LUK VERHELST



“The Thompson Retractor makes my assistant’s job a breeze and is invaluable in
the difficult or stiff knee.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“I use the Thompson retractor for all knee replacements.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“The Thompson Retractor is extremely helpful and allows for easy and safe
exposure with one assistant.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“Reps often comment on the amazing set up and our assistants love the Thompson
Retractor!”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“Thompson’s retractors are held more stably and have more versatility than an
assistant.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“The Thompson Retractor allows me to easily do the case with a single assistant,
and that person’s hands are free to do other tasks.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“The Thompson Retractor is multifunctional for supine and lateral positioning –
posterior, direct anterior, lateral approach. It helps in all of them.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“For Hip Replacement, the Thompson Retractor is an invaluable tool.”



Jeffrey P. Beckenbaugh, DO



“The central exposure provided by the Thompson Retractor allows a perfect
unobstructed perpendicular visualization of the cervical spine, resulting in a
very easy surgery on vertebrae or discs.”



Rudolph Bertagnoli, MD



“The Thompson CCA Retractor is very safe and easy, eliminating the need to
reposition the retractor blades throughout the entire procedure.”



Rudolph Bertagnoli, MD



“The Thompson CCA Retractor works effectively to eliminate issues typically seen
with self-retaining retractors by allowing independently adjusted retraction of
the medial and lateral structures as well as a hands-free mechanism.”



Rudolph Bertagnoli, MD



“My surgical practice has been enhanced with the hands-free approach the
Thompson Retractor provides.”



ALBERTO GOMEZ PORTILLA, MD, PHD



“Eventually, if they get to work with the [Thompson] retractor, I am sure they
will be able to get a new ‘hands free’ surgical approach in their surgeries,
which will enhance their surgical practice and excellence.”



ALBERTO GOMEZ PORTILLA, MD, PHD



“I am absolutely in love with the Thompson Retractor.”



ALBERTO GOMEZ PORTILLA, MD, PHD



“The Thompson Retractor provides terrific cephalad rib retraction without ever
slipping down or moving during the course of the case.”



BRENDAN C. VISSER, MD



“The Thompson retractor provides strong, comfortable and stable exposure. In
open hepatic surgery and liver transplantation, the Thompson retractor offers a
unique exposure for the liver thanks to the possibility of downwards and lateral
right rib retraction.”



Mauricio Sainz Barriga MD, PhD



“What really sets Thompson apart is the usability, the adaptability and the
dependability. That’s what has always defined Thompson for me.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“Thompson’s attention to detail and brilliant engineering minds consistently
deliver the best product on the market.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“The hallmark of Thompson is the engineering and the quality.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“In every way, shape, and form, Thompson Retractors are superior.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“The ability to fine tune adjustments in real time makes the procedure run
smoother and safer.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“What makes the Thompson Retractor superior in terms of adaptability in the OR,
is being able to address every clinical scenario very effectively.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“Thompson’s Anterior Lumbar Ring System provides a simple, safe, and intuitive
platform to achieve consistent midline spine exposure using minimal incision
size while affording maximal exposure of the anterior spine.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“Thompson’s Anterior Lumbar Ring System allows for even smaller Incision size
with significantly less tissue trauma, while still achieving, safe, effective
midline exposure of the anterior spine.”



Jonathan E. Schoeff, MD, FACS



“The Thompson Pediatric System makes pediatric liver transplant in small infants
much easier.”



MICHAEL WACHS, MD



“The best retractor I have seen in my 25 years as a transplant surgeon.”



MICHAEL WACHS, MD



“The Thompson Retractor makes liver transplant easy.”



MICHAEL WACHS, MD



“Outstanding exposure for pediatric liver transplant”



MICHAEL WACHS, MD



“”I recommend the Thompson Retractor exclusively for all my cases”



THOM LOBE, MD



“I find the Thompson Retractor an invaluable tool.”



THOM LOBE, MD



“Throughout my career I have always clipped my retractors to the drapes, only to
re-adjust several times during the shoulder procedure. The Thompson tether
system allows for reliable, consistent and easily adjustable retraction which
maximizes exposure and expedites the procedure.”



MARK J. POWERS, MD, FACS, FAAOS



“Thompson did it again…the blades are perfect!”



MARK J. POWERS, MD, FACS, FAAOS



“The Thompson Retractor is essential for an optimal result.”



PAUL H. SUGARBAKER, MD, FACS, FRCS



“Central placement is crucial for the precise biomechanical function of the
device. The centre of rotation needs to be exactly in the midline for the disc
to evenly distribute load between the facet joints. For exact central placement,
exposure of the entire anterior circumference of the disc is essential. A secure
retraction of vessels allows safe implantation of the disc replacement. I rely
on Thompson for all my challenging cases; it is my first choice of retractor.
The Thompson retractor system provides the greatest level of safety for my
patients.”



BRONEK BOSZCZYK, MD



“Reduces dysphagia by reducing tissue damage”



MICHAEL G. FEHLINGS MD PHD FRCSC FACS FRSC



“Precise exposure without excessive retraction.”



MICHAEL G. FEHLINGS MD PHD FRCSC FACS FRSC



“The Drake Hook is an important tool for subvalvular mitral repair. The cutting
groove facilitates safe commissurotomy and chord lysis.”



Daniel H. Drake, MD



“Soft tissue is sensitive to exsiccation leading to tissue resulting in a higher
infection risk as well as a longer and more painful healing time. Less risks and
better surgical outcomes can be accomplished with lubricated and protected
tissue. To accomplish that, a silicone sleeve in conjunction with the bone
levers is utilized. The Silicone Sleeve allows permanent lubrication and, at the
same time, protection of sensitive vascular or neural structures as well as the
thyroid gland, the trachea or the esophagus.”



Rudolph Bertagnoli, MD



“I really like how the table-mounted retractor provides exposure and allows me
to assist and instruct residents instead of using handheld retractors”



Jane M. Porretta, MD, FACS



“Our Plastic Surgery colleagues enjoy the exposure when performing a lympho
venous bypass after axiallary dissection.”



Jane M. Porretta, MD, FACS



“The Thompson Breast Retractor System allows me to perform axillary dissection
and deep sentinel node retrieval with good exposure when I am operating alone
with only a surgical tech.”



Jane M. Porretta, MD, FACS



“Simplicity and versatility. Literally nothing that I can’t get exposed… Even
the 350lb patient.”



Gregory Trost, MD



“I started using a very basic exposure, but I saw the capacity for this
retractor (the OneFrame) to do more because of the Quick Angling feature and I
was able to innovate and propose a new approach.”



Prof. Xavier Berard, MD, PhD, FEBVS



“The Thompson OneFrame™ offers exceptional angling and multiplanar retraction…
Combined with the Quick Angling feature, you have the perfect combination of
what you expect from your retractor.”



Prof. Xavier Berard, MD, PhD, FEBVS



“I took out a 39 lb. tumor. The Thompson was a major help with exposure and sped
up the case a lot!”



Elizabeth J. Lilley, MD, MPH



“I evaluated the Thompson Retractor as a vascular fellow in 1970 at UCSF Medical
Center and have used it throughout my career as a vascular surgeon until my
retirement in 2002. A great product!”



PETER NOYES, MD



“This system is a shoulder-saver and is like having another tireless assistant
standing next to me.”



STEVEN THOMAS, MD



“Set it, forget it.”



STEVEN F. BOLLING, MD



“The three most important aspects of mitral valve surgery are: EXPOSURE,
EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE.”



STEVEN F. BOLLING, MD



“Thompson products always facilitated my operations!! Great engineering and
quality!”



JOHN (JEB) HALLETT, MD



“The Thompson AL Brau Blades have become essential for the Anterior Mini-Open
approach to the lumbar spine with a proven 15 year track record of safety. You
get steady, rock solid exposure providing excellent visualization throughout
without the need to re-adjust thus saving time by reducing the ‘fiddle factor.’”



SALVADOR A. BRAU, MD, FACS



“The Thompson retractor is essential for all complex Hepato-Pancreatico-Bilary
surgery in order to allow for safe and effective dissection and transection.”



ROBERT CG MARTIN, II, MD, PHD, FACS



“The Thompson Spine Frame allows me to do cases which I would not have thought
possible a few years ago and is absolutely essential in us developing these
novel and extensive approaches.”



BRONEK BOSZCZYK, MD



“The success of outpatient total hip arthroplasty will depend upon orthopaedic
autonomy in the ASC. The Thompson hip system is a simple solution that provides
consistent and reproducible exposure. It is cost-effective and creates more OR
space by minimizing personnel. It is ‘a must have’ for outpatient THA.”



MARK J. POWERS, MD, FACS, FAAOS



“Thompson did it again…perfect!”



MARK J. POWERS, MD, FACS, FAAOS



“The Thompson Hip System has an elegant design that optimizes the synergy
between instrumentation and surgical technique allowing unimpeded visualization
while performing muscle sparing ( or minimally invasive ) total hip
arthroplasty.”



MARK J. POWERS, MD, FACS, FAAOS



“The Thompson Retractor is in my view the best retractor for liver,
hepato-pancreato-biliary and gastric splenic surgery. The access given to the
upper abdomen is unmatched by any other system. The availability of valves for
overweight and obese patients is also of paramount assistance. I believe that
this retractor should be available in all hospitals.”



PROF LUC DELRIVIERE, MBBS, MD, FRCS, FRACS



“Optimal visualization and retraction in an increasingly obese surgical
population is difficult. Rib cage retraction required suboptimal improvisation
with ill-suited blades, until now.”



DAVID SINDRAM, MD, PHD



“I am quicker, more dynamic and precise in my biliary procedures. In addition, I
am essentially non-reliant on my assistant for exposure or system.”



DAVID SINDRAM, MD, PHD



“The advantages of the Thompson Retractor over other retractors include
excellent upper abdominal visibility thanks to the ability to perform Subcostal
Retraction. What is particularly good are the multiple set-up options, including
the creation of a circle, catering to multiple procedures and patient sizes
including those that are morbidly obese”



MEHRDAD NIKFARJAM MBBS, MD, PHD, FRACS



“The Thompson Retractor is of use at all times during cytoreductive surgery with
HIPEC and is essential for an optimal result.”



PAUL H. SUGARBAKER, MD, FACS, FRCS



“By improving the direct visualization of the native landmarks during Direct
Anterior Approach THA, the Thompson Hip Retractor System provides the surgeon
with improved confidence for consistent, accurate component placement.”



LEE E. RUBIN, MD



“The Thompson Liver Transplant/Resection System is the best retractor system
available.”



MICHAEL ANGELIS, MD



“I find the Thompson Retractor an invaluable tool. It is the only retractor of
its kind that can accommodate 3, 5, and 10mm instruments. This allows me to
perform complex laparoscopic and thoracoscopic cases on infants and children
with ease and safety. I recommend it exclusively for all my cases.”



THOM LOBE, MD



“I use the Thompson retractor on every anterior cervical case, even single level
procedures. The set up takes me less than 2 minutes and the improved exposure
and solid non-mobile retraction provided is phenomenal.”



VINCENT TRAYNELIS, MD



“This retractor provides focal and dependable retraction in the space between
the transverse processes. This exposure facilitates a transforaminal
decompression, pedicle fixation, and intertransverse fusion in those patients in
which an open approach is indicated. The system easily adapts to single or
multilevel situations.”



VINCENT TRAYNELIS, MD



“The Thompson retractor is, in my view, the best retractor for complex HPB and
gastrointestinal surgeries. It has allowed us to minimize the incision for a
multi-visceral transplant, allowing it to be performed by a midline approach.
The exposure obtained and the independence provided to the surgeons and
assistants, provides the right setting for teaching. Every surgical department
should have one.”



PROF GABRIEL E. GONDOLESI MD, MAAC, FACS



“I prefer the Thompson Retractor because it reduces dysphagia by reducing tissue
damage”



MICHAEL G. FEHLINGS MD PHD FRCSC FACS FRSC



“Thompson Surgical provides the most hassle-free, versatile retractor. For those
complex, difficult procedures, as well as the routine, its ease of setup,
strength and use, as well as lack of constant readjustment, always provides me
reliable and safe exposure. Hands down, this should be every surgeon’s go-to
retractor.”



MICHAEL NIZZI, DO, FACOS



“The Thompson Retractor makes liver transplant easy. It provides outstanding
exposure for pediatric liver transplant, the best retractor I have seen in my 25
years as a transplant surgeon.”



MICHAEL WACHS, MD



“I utilize the Thompson Retractor for exposure on all of my nerve sparing
radical perineal prostatectomy cases because it contours to the wound, is low
profile, and easily accommodates varying patient anatomy. The versatility of the
retractor allows me to utilize a less invasive perineal approach to nerve
sparing prostatectomies. I use it for excellent exposure to do pubovaginal
slings as well.”



MICHAEL J. HARRIS, MD



“The Thompson System provides terrific cephalad rib retraction without ever
slipping down or moving during the course of the case.”



BRENDAN C. VISSER, MD



“There is really no other system on the market that is comparable to the
Thompson for open liver surgery.  It offers the critical combination of easy
set-up and dependable solidity.”



BRENDAN C. VISSER, MD



“The new Thompson cervical system with litepath has made a huge difference for
my anterior cervical cases. Exposure now is second to none with great
reliability and less adjustments needed compared to other systems. It is
expedient as well and can be set up in under a minute once you have a handful of
cases experience with it. It’s brilliant, the customer service team is very
responsive and friendly, and it’s truly the system every anterior cervical spine
surgeon needs in their toolbox!”



JEFFREY KACHMANN, MD



“I found the exposure afforded by this system to be excellent! It frees up my
assistant’s hands and it’s rigidity provides secure consistent exposure.”



DOUGLAS F GEIGER, MD



“The Thompson Cervical Retractor System frees up my assistant’s hands for other
tasks to help the surgery run more smoothly. Solid positioning of the retractor
blades decreases risk of injury to local tissues. It’s a great system.”



VITTORIO M. MORREALE, MD



“When you buy a Thompson, you buy it for life.”



ALBERTO GOMEZ PORTILLA, MD, PHD



“I am absolutely in love with the Thompson System and the ‘hands-free’ surgical
approach it provides.”



ALBERTO GOMEZ PORTILLA, MD, PHD



“When someone asks for an assistant, I say, ‘Pull out a Thompson!’”



ROBERT MIKKELSEN, MD



“The versatility of the Thompson Retractor allows us to change approaches to
suit each patient, improving results and reducing incision sizes.”



PROF. GABRIEL E. GONDOLESI, MD, MAAC, FACS



“I rely on Thompson for all my challenging cases; it is my first choice of
system.”



BRONEK BOSZCZYK, MD



“Use of the Thompson Hip System has increased efficiency and decreased operating
time in our department.”



DR. LUK VERHELST



“I use the Thompson System for every hip case. It has been the most notable
advancement the last two years in my orthopedic practice. I would never go back
to the way it was done before.”



DR. LUK VERHELST



“The Thompson system provides the greatest level of safety for my patients.”



BRONEK BOSZCZYK, MD



“Where we set off to use the system as means to an end, reducing the need for
extra staff, it has done much more than that. The Thompson System is always
ready, always willing, never tired… It is my go-to, off the shelf, perfect
assistant.”



DR. LUK VERHELST



“We believe the use of the Thompson System has improved our patient outcomes.
The system is able to create much more consistent, non-traumatic tension on the
retracted muscles. Intra-operative tears of the Tensor fascia latae in the
direct anterior approach have reduced significantly following the introduction
of the Thompson.”



DR. LUK VERHELST



“My first step, after applying pressure…is to call for the Thompson retractor.
I have successfully dealt with all kinds of uncontrolled situations now and my
first step, after applying pressure and making sure anesthesia knows we’re in
trouble, is to call for the Thompson retractor.”



RICHARD E. DAVIS MD FACS



“Thompson is the friendliest and most efficient company I have ever used. The
whole thing takes time to introduce the product and as a result puts forward
only the best opportunities that really suit you. They help from start to finish
to create a great product identity for your company.”



Shalima Hayden, MD
