Allison Lung Retractor 40mm, 25.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for exposure and controlled retraction of lung parenchyma and adjacent intrathoracic structures during open thoracic procedures. Common applications include thoracotomy, pulmonary resections, decortication, and other procedures requiring atraumatic displacement of lung tissue to improve visualization and access to the hilum, pleural space, or chest wall.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's blade-style geometry and overall length provide reach into the pleural cavity while distributing retraction forces across a broader surface to minimize focal pressure on lung tissue. The handheld format gives the assistant or surgeon direct tactile feedback and fine control over retraction position and force, useful during delicate dissection and exposure steps where intermittent adjustments are required.
