Clinical Application
This malleable Haberer retractor is designed to provide atraumatic soft-tissue retraction in situations where a fixed-angle rigid retractor cannot adapt to patient anatomy. It is used to create and maintain exposure in deep or curved wounds, along anatomical contours, and in confined operative fields. Typical applications include general surgical dissections, ENT procedures, vascular and thoracic exposures, and any case where intraoperative bending of the blade improves visualization or access without applying focal pressure.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's malleable flat blades allow the surgeon or assistant to bend the shaft and blade to follow complex anatomical curves while maintaining the desired retraction angle. A double-ended configuration with two different blade widths (25 mm and 30 mm) provides immediate options for broader or narrower retraction without changing instruments. The 280 mm overall length gives reach into deeper cavities while the thin blade profile helps distribute contact pressure across tissue, reducing focal compression and improving gentle exposure.
Instrument Specifications
- Double-ended malleable retractor
- Blade widths: 25 mm and 30 mm
- Overall length: 280 mm
- Flat, thin blades for contouring and atraumatic retraction
- Reusable surgical stainless steel construction
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated reprocessing and sterilization cycles. The malleable metal core is engineered for controlled bending and return-to-shape behavior appropriate for intraoperative adjustment. Reusable design supports standard steam sterilization per facility protocols.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
