Ring Retractor System: select the ring and hook separately.
The customer first selects the required field geometry and ring dimensions, then selects the hook family and requests the exact kit or component matrix.
Product selection and use should follow the current IFU, labeling, hospital protocol, and target-market requirements.

Quick Answer
How is the system organized?
Start with the product role, configuration boundaries, and the documents required for evaluation.
Creates tissue retraction
Choose hook family and sharp or blunt configuration according to documents and judgment.
Combines selected components
Request the exact kit contents rather than assuming one universal set.
Modular, not universal
Different procedures and fields require different configurations.
Modular Product Relationship
Ring and hooks are selected together but remain separate components.
This structure helps customers buy a complete kit or build a procedure-specific combination.
Ring Retractor configuration
The HK-QK ring defines the frame geometry. HK-LG hooks and accessories create the selected retraction configuration.
Selected HK-QK ring + selected HK-LG hooks + documented accessories = chosen retractor configuration
Ring and Hook Architecture
Choose frame geometry and hook family separately.
The full page gives exact ring references and group-level hook counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ring Retractor questions.
Answers are aligned with the visible page content and current public documentation boundary.
What is the AeroMed Ring Retractor System?
It is a modular surgical exposure system built around HK-QK ring references and HK-LG hook families.
How many rings and hook types are presented?
The current catalog presents eight ring references, five confirmed hook ordering references and sixteen standard kit configurations.
What is the difference between sharp and blunt hooks?
They are separate hook configurations. Selection should follow the current IFU, tissue condition, surgeon judgment, and hospital protocol; the page does not prescribe a universal tissue rule.
Is one ring suitable for every procedure?
No. Ring geometry and dimensions differ, and the customer should select a ring and hook configuration for the intended field and procedure.
Can the system be configured as a kit?
Yes. The catalog references sixteen kit configurations. Exact ring, hook, and accessory contents should be confirmed through the kit matrix.
How is a ring retractor different from a wound retractor / protector?
A ring retractor uses an external ring with selected hooks to create a hook-based retraction configuration. A wound retractor / protector uses an inner ring, outer ring, and protective sleeve to provide circumferential access and wound-edge separation. They are related surgical-exposure products but are not interchangeable.
