Cushing Retractor 12x200mm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise, low-profile retraction in confined or deep surgical corridors, this instrument is commonly used to expose small vessels, dura, nerves, and soft tissue planes. The 12 mm blade width provides a focused contact area to displace tissue without excessive bulk, while the 200 mm overall length allows the assistant or primary operator to reach deep operative sites such as cranial, spinal, ENT, and certain vascular or reconstructive procedures.

Its narrow footprint and thin blade make it particularly useful when working through limited exposures where space is at a premium and controlled retraction is required to avoid collateral trauma.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's slim, single-blade design delivers low-profile retraction that minimizes interference with the surgeon's field of view and instrument access. A thin, flat blade distributes retraction force across a modest surface area to reduce point pressure on delicate tissues. The 200 mm length balances reach and control, enabling stabilization of deep tissues while the handle provides positive grip for fine adjustments during dissection or exposure.
