Clinical Application
This malleable Haberer-style retractor provides controlled soft-tissue retraction for open procedures where customized blade contouring is required. The dual blade widths allow the assistant or surgeon to select a narrower or wider footprint for exposure of deep wounds, tunnels, or cavities. Common intraoperative uses include holding back muscle, fascia, bowel, or other visceral and soft tissues during general and specialist open cases to improve visualization and access while minimizing focal pressure.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a malleable flat blade that can be shaped to follow patient anatomy or to create a stable retraction profile. Having two blade widths on a single instrument (17 mm and 25 mm) gives immediate options for smaller or broader retraction without exchanging instruments. The 200 mm length permits mid- to deep-cavity reach while preserving tactile control and visibility at the wound edge. The flat blade geometry distributes load across tissue and helps reduce point pressure during retraction.
