Blade for Temple-Fay-Ulrich Retractor 3pr. 45mm

Clinical Application

This 3-prong blade is an attachable working element for the Temple-Fay-Ulrich retractor system, intended to provide controlled retraction of skin and superficial soft tissues to maintain exposure of the operative field. The three-prong configuration is useful during procedures that require secure tissue engagement and stable retraction while allowing unobstructed access for dissection, hemostasis, or suturing.

Design & Configuration

The 3-prong geometry distributes retraction forces across multiple contact points to reduce focal stress on tissue and improve stabilization. At 45 mm, the blade offers a modest reach that balances exposure with tactile control, making it suitable for shallow to moderate depth retraction. The blade is made as a modular accessory to couple directly with the Temple-Fay-Ulrich retractor frame, enabling quick attachment and removal intraoperatively and allowing selection of blade configurations to match procedural needs.
