“SEGI® is a true game changer. Its low-profile design makes difficult exposures much easier. You haven't seen anything like it.”

“The Facilitator® creates so much more space for reaming. The long lever arm moves the humerus out of the way and opens up valuable working space. I would pick this retractor every time.”

“It was like turning on a light switch.” You have the ability to bring the implant in from the side with the arm in a neutral position. SEGI® makes putting that implant in the right position much easier.”

“The Facilitator® allows the reamer to be used with ease, without contacting the retractor. The longer handle keeps me out of the surgical field for easier exposure.”
