Blade for Braastad Retractor 100x65mm pair Alum.

Clinical Application

These paired blades provide broad-surface retraction to create and maintain exposure of superficial operative fields. The 100 x 65 mm footprint is suited for targeted retraction in procedures where a low-profile, wide paddle is preferred to distribute pressure and reduce focal tissue compression. Use cases include general and specialty procedures that require stable, atraumatic retraction of soft tissues and small cavity exposure; paired blades enable bilateral retraction for symmetric visualization of the operative site.

Design & Configuration

The paddle-style geometry delivers a wide contact area that helps protect soft tissue while improving visibility. The 100 x 65 mm dimensions balance exposure with space constraints in confined surgical sites. Supplied as a matched pair, the blades are intended to be mounted to Braastad retractor frames to provide coordinated, stable retraction on opposing sides of an incision or cavity. The lightweight construction reduces instrument weight in the operative set and facilitates handling during prolonged cases.
