Giving Back
The Thompson Retractor Foundation
Mission Statement
"Our mission is to provide surgeons, who volunteer their
services around the world to the less privileged, with the
instruments that make life saving operations possible."
Thompson Surgical Instruments understands this need and we are pleased to donate Thompson Retractors to these dedicated men and women.
Health care providers who work with patients in Third World countries, including missionary surgeons and those employed by community hospitals, are called on to perform complex surgeries in challenging environments with limited resources.
When you upgrade your old Thompson Retractor System to a new model, we refurbish the old equipment and prepare it for shipping to hospitals in need. If you would like to join us in the Foundation's efforts, or to find out if you may be eligible to receive a donation, please contact Stephanie Zalucha at 1-800-227-7543 ext. 2150, or by email at stephanie.zalucha@thompsonsurgical.com
Thank you for your support, we look forward to hearing from you.
