Scott retractor

A self-retaining ring-shaped retractor with hooks or elastic straps that anchor to the edges of a penoscrotal incision and hold it open without needing an assistant.

How it is used

Surgical field exposure during penoscrotal placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis; used in most such approaches to reduce the risk of urethral or neurovascular injury.
