Blade for Braastad Retractor 100x65mm pair

Clinical Application

These replacement blades are designed for use with Braastad retractor systems to provide broad-area retraction of soft tissue during open surgical procedures. The 100 x 65 mm dimensions make the blades suitable for exposing medium-sized operative fields where a wide, even distribution of retraction force is required — for example, abdominal wall, soft-tissue, and select orthopedic or reconstructive exposures. Sold as a matched pair to allow bilateral retraction and symmetrical wound exposure.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 100 x 65 mm footprint delivers a wide contact surface that helps distribute pressure over a larger area of tissue, reducing focal pressure and helping preserve tissue integrity during prolonged retraction. The blades are supplied as a matched pair to facilitate even bilateral retraction and straightforward replacement of worn or damaged blades in a reusable Braastad retractor assembly. Geometry and size are selected to balance visibility of the operative field with gentle tissue handling.
