Cushing Retractor 18mmx24cm

Clinical Application

This narrow 18 mm blade retractor provides focused soft-tissue exposure for delicate procedures. It is commonly used in neurosurgical, craniofacial and spinal approaches as well as general surgical cases where controlled, atraumatic retraction of scalp, subcutaneous tissue, dura or other superficial structures is required. The slender blade profile facilitates visualization in confined operative corridors and along linear incisions.

Design & Configuration

The straight, single-blade configuration delivers direct, precise retraction with low shaft profile, allowing the surgeon to maintain a clear line of sight without obstructing the field. The 18 mm blade width balances surface contact area for secure tissue control while minimizing pressure on underlying structures. A 24 cm overall length provides reach into deeper operative sites while remaining manageable for one-handed manipulation and fine adjustments.
