Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled exposure of the chest wall and pleural space, this retractor is used for soft-tissue and rib retraction in thoracic procedures. Its blade area is suited to distribute retraction forces across a broader surface, helping maintain operative exposure during open thoracotomy, limited anterior chest approaches and other thoracic soft-tissue dissections where a compact, rigid hand-held retractor is required.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular blade geometry (108 x 43 mm) offers a broad footprint for even distribution of pressure on soft tissue and chest-wall margins, reducing focal pressure points while improving visibility. A 24 cm overall length provides sufficient reach for access into the thoracic cavity from standard incision sites without excess bulk at the handle. The hand-held configuration allows the assistant or surgeon to precisely position and dynamically adjust retraction during critical phases of exposure.
