What Our Customers Say
“The operation has become more consistent, and we have found that post-operative pain has lowered significantly. Overall post- operative swelling and blood loss seem to be much less of a problem due to the use of the retractor. We believe the surgery has become less invasive and less traumatic.”

It is cost-effective and creates more OR space by minimizing personnel. It is ‘a must have’ for outpatient THA.”

“Where we set off to use the system as means to an end, reducing the need for extra staff, it has done much more than that. The Thompson System is always ready, always willing, never tired… It is my go-to, off the shelf, perfect assistant.”
DR. LUK VERHELST
“We believe the use of the Thompson System has improved our patient outcomes. The system is able to create much more consistent, non-traumatic tension on the retracted muscles. Intra-operative tears of the Tensor fascia latae in the direct anterior approach have reduced significantly following the introduction of the Thompson.”
DR. LUK VERHELST
“My first step, after applying pressure…is to call for the Thompson retractor.
I have successfully dealt with all kinds of uncontrolled situations now and my first step, after applying pressure and making sure anesthesia knows we’re in trouble, is to call for the Thompson retractor.”
RICHARD E. DAVIS MD FACS
