Simplifying Surgical Pannus Retraction: Introducing the Pullie™ Surgical Pannus Retractor

In today's operating rooms, efficiency matters just as much as reliability. Clinical teams need solutions that help streamline setup, support patient safety, and maintain procedural workflow without adding unnecessary complexity.

That's why TZ Medical is excited to introduce the Pullie Surgical Pannus Retractor — a simple, adjustable tissue retraction solution designed to support pannus positioning during intraoperative procedures.


Designed to Simplify Surgical Workflow

PULLIE Retract-1-1Traditional pannus retraction methods can often involve extensive taping, time-consuming adjustments, and inconsistent positioning. The Pullie Surgical Pannus Retractor was developed to provide a faster, more controlled alternative, helping clinicians efficiently prepare and position patients.

The system features an integrated pad-and-strap design that lifts and secures excess tissue while maintaining patient comfort and surgical site accessibility.


Faster Setup Without Added Complexity

One of the biggest advantages of the Pullie device is its streamlined application process.

The sterile, single-use system includes:

  • Four adhesive pads
  • Two adjustable 48" straps
  • Pre-attached pad-and-strap components for simplified setup

Compared to traditional taping methods, which can take significant time to properly position and secure tissue, the Pullie device is designed for rapid application and easy adjustment.

Clinicians can:

  1. Apply the adhesive pads
  2. Extend the straps toward the head of the table
  3. Lift and position the pannus
  4. Secure tension as needed
  5. Prep directly over the device

The result is a cleaner, more efficient workflow that minimizes disruption during surgical preparation.


Designed With Patient Comfort in Mind

The Pullie Surgical Pannus Retractor is designed to provide strong retraction without compromising skin integrity.

Its latex-free, hypoallergenic adhesive system is engineered specifically to support and reposition large masses of tissue while leaving skin intact and residue-free upon removal.

The fully adjustable design also allows clinicians to quickly reposition or release tension intraoperatively when needed, supporting flexibility throughout the procedure.


Improved Surgical Prep

IMG_3769Another key enhancement of the Pullie system is its smooth prep-friendly surface.

The new pre-attached pad-and-strap design replaces traditional hook-and-loop material with a smoother surface, allowing clinicians to prep directly over the device more easily.

This improvement helps reduce interruptions during prep while simplifying overall workflow in the OR and Labor & Delivery environments.


Supporting OR and Labor & Delivery Teams

The Pullie Surgical Pannus Retractor is designed for a variety of surgical applications requiring pannus retraction and tissue positioning.

Its simple, all-in-one design helps support:

  • OR workflow efficiency
  • Faster patient setup
  • Improved access to the procedure site
  • Reliable tissue positioning
  • Simplified surgical prep
