Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic retraction of soft tissue and organs during open procedures, this flat ribbon retractor provides broad, low‑profile exposure for deep cavities. It is used to elevate and hold the abdominal wall, retract bowel and viscera, or protect underlying structures while surgeons work in limited-access fields. The wide ribbon distributes pressure across a larger surface area to reduce focal tissue compression when compared with narrow hooks or sharp retractors.
Design & Configuration
The straight flat ribbon geometry allows the blade to slide under tissue layers and conform to contours of the operative field. A 40 mm blade width offers a balance between surface area for force distribution and a low profile for visibility, while the 330 mm blade length reaches deeper cavities without the need for extension tools. The slim, smooth profile facilitates gentle retraction, instrument interchange, and placement alongside drains or other devices.
