Blade for Temple-Fay-Ulrich Retractor 4pr. 60mm

Clinical Application

This 4-pronged blade is intended as a replacement/attachment for the Temple-Fay-Ulrich retractor system. It provides secure, distributed retraction of superficial soft tissues and dermal/subdermal layers to maintain exposure of the operative field. It is suitable for procedures where a Temple-Fay-Ulrich retractor is used to hold soft tissues out of the surgical site, such as craniofacial, ENT, plastic/reconstructive, and other superficial surgical approaches that require multipoint, low-profile retraction.

Design & Configuration

The 4-pronged layout delivers multipoint contact to distribute retraction forces evenly and reduce focal pressure on tissue. The 60 mm span offers moderate reach appropriate for shallow-to-moderate depth exposures without adding excessive bulk. As a removable blade, it mounts to the retractor frame to allow quick replacement or exchange for different tip patterns during a case, improving workflow and instrument versatility. Low-profile prong geometry minimizes slippage while limiting tissue trauma when used with appropriate tension.
