RingTrack vs. Bookwalter-Style Handles

Traditional Bookwalter-style handles angle at the ratchet only, causing the handles to rise upward and encroach on the surgeon’s workspace. Thompson’s RingTrack Quick Angle Handles are designed differently — the adjustment occurs at the head of the retractor, keeping the profile low, comfortable, and clear of the operative field.
