Clinical Application
These 65 x 65 mm blades serve as replacement or spare blades for a Braastad retractor assembly. When mounted in the Braastad frame or handle, they provide consistent, atraumatic soft-tissue retraction and field exposure. The paired configuration allows balanced bilateral retraction for improved visualization and access during general surgical, plastic, ENT and oral–maxillofacial procedures where small-to-moderate retraction footprints are required.
Design & Configuration
The square 65 x 65 mm footprint offers a moderate surface area that distributes retraction forces over tissue to reduce pressure points while maintaining a focused exposure. Supplied as a matched pair, the blades permit symmetric retraction and easier wound edge approximation. Aluminum construction yields a lightweight profile that reduces hand fatigue during positioning and facilitates quick handling when exchanging blades intraoperatively.
