Jansen retractors are commonly used in abdominal and pelvic surgeries, particularly for procedures that require a large incision or involve deep access to organs. They are useful for creating and maintaining a clear and unobstructed surgical field, allowing the surgeon to visualize and access the area of interest effectively. By retracting tissues and organs, the retractor helps improve visibility, facilitates the manipulation of structures, and provides space for surgical instruments to work.
