Cushing Retractor 12mmx24cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled, low-profile retraction for delicate soft tissues and small vessels in confined operative fields. The narrow 12 mm blade and long shaft are suited to neurosurgical and ENT approaches, as well as plastic, vascular and general surgical cases where precise fingertip control and minimal wound footprint are required. Ideal for maintaining exposure in narrow tunnels, superficial craniotomies, microdissections and small incision procedures.

Design & Configuration

The narrow blade profile and 24 cm overall length combine reach with a minimal retraction footprint, allowing the surgeon to expose deep or limited-access anatomy without excessive tissue displacement. The handheld single-blade configuration permits fine positional adjustments and tactile feedback, which assists in atraumatic tissue handling and precise retraction during microsurgical work. The slim geometry also facilitates simultaneous use of suction, microscopes or instrumentation at the operative site.
