Blade for Temple-Fay-Ulrich Retractor 4pr. 45mm

Clinical Application

This 4-prong, 45 mm retractor blade is designed to attach to a Temple-Fay-Ulrich retractor frame to provide stable, distributed retraction of soft tissue and periosteum during surgical exposure. The blade is used to maintain a clear operative field in craniofacial and head & neck procedures as well as in general surgical cases where a moderate reach and broad tissue engagement are required. Its pronged design helps secure soft tissue edges and reduce the need for manual retraction, allowing surgeons unobstructed visualization of the operative site.

Design & Configuration

The four-prong configuration distributes retraction forces across multiple contact points, minimizing focal pressure and reducing the risk of tissue ischemia compared with single-point hooks. At 45 mm, the blade provides moderate depth reach for incisions and anatomical corridors that are neither very superficial nor extremely deep. The prongs are formed to engage tissue securely while permitting quick attachment and removal from the retractor frame, facilitating efficient intraoperative adjustments.
