Schoenborn Thymus Retractor 6x13mm, 20.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine retraction of thymic tissue and adjacent small mediastinal structures during thoracic procedures, including thymectomy and procedures requiring exposure of the anterior mediastinum. The small 6 x 13 mm blade footprint permits targeted retraction in confined spaces while minimizing compression of delicate tissue, improving visualization for dissection and hemostasis.

Design & Configuration

The compact rectangular blade provides a broad but low-profile surface to distribute retraction forces across thymic tissue without concentrating pressure at a single point. The 20.5 cm shaft length gives sufficient reach from superficial entry points to the anterior mediastinum while maintaining tactile control. This geometry facilitates precise, controlled retraction in pediatric and adult cases where space is limited.
