Iron Intern® Stieber Rib Grip
The Premier Surgical Retraction System – Liver Transplant, Oncology, and Bariatric Surgery
I’ve been using the Iron Intern® Stieber Rib Grip for the last 25 years. In our OR, it’s been commonly known as “The Big Boy.” I have been utilizing it for Bariatric, Hepatobiliary, and Foregut surgery, including Whipple, Esophagectomy, Liver Resections, Gastric Resections and Trauma. I haven’t seen a retractor with better exposure than the Stieber.”

The Iron Intern® Stieber Rib Grip is the premier retractor system for liver transplant, oncology, and bariatric surgery.
It is an open retraction system that delivers superior strength, optimum exposure, total ease of set up, and extreme flexibility. The Stieber Rib Grip was developed at UPMC, Pittsburgh, world-renowned transplant center of the late Dr. Thomas Starzl, the father of liver transplant. In liver transplant, the Iron Intern® Stieber Rib Grip provides exposure for the precise and safe removal of organs. It is used in a great number of prominent transplant centers, and achieves the strongest and safest exposure.
