Thompson Retractor Foundation
When you upgrade your old retractor, we refurbish and send it to hospitals in need.
Thompson Surgical is constantly working on new product upgrades and improvements and often offers “trade in” and “upgrade” discounts to our customers. As a result of our product upgrades and promotions, Thompson regularly receives older retractors back. The solution is to refurbish this equipment back to new and donate it to those who need it the most. Thompson understands the needs of surgeons involved in complex surgeries in challenging environments with limited resources and is pleased to donate anywhere from 8-10 retractor retractors annually to places in need.
If you would like to join us in the Foundation’s efforts, or to find out if you may be eligible to receive a donation, please contact:
