ST. PAUL, Minn., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Omni-Tract Surgical announced that they have recently been awarded two new European patents on key technologies related to their table-mounted surgical retractors. The patents recognize Omni-Tract's innovative design as it relates to the use of "cam" technology and "wishbone" frames, within a surgical retractor. In fact, quick-locking cams and wishbone frames are key reasons surgeons have made Omni-Tract the #1 table-mounted retractor in Europe. Cam locking mechanisms are designed to provide faster and easier connections than standard screw- type, or threaded mechanisms. Cam locking mechanisms also add strength to retractors, an important feature considering the increasing rates of obesity in the patient population and the additional stress this places on medical devices.
