The device can include a handle, a body, a suction system, a sensor, and an indicator. The body can be operatively coupled to the handle and can include a lumen extending through a length of the body, and at least a portion of the body is configured to operate as a retractor during the medical procedure. The suction system can include a suction channel disposed within the lumen. The sensor can be coupled to the body and can be configured to sense a retraction force against the body during the medical procedure. The indicator can be configured to provide feedback to the user based on the sensed retraction force.
