Cushing Retractor 16mmx24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise, controlled retraction of soft tissues in confined operative fields. The narrow 16 mm blade is appropriate for localized retraction of scalp, subcutaneous tissue, dura margins and small neurovascular bundles during cranial and spinal procedures, as well as for targeted exposure in vascular and general surgical cases. The 24 cm overall length provides additional reach into deeper or narrow corridors while allowing the operator to maintain a low profile at the wound edge.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a single flat blade with atraumatic, rounded edges to distribute pressure over tissue and reduce focal trauma. The slender shaft and extended 24 cm length give the assistant or surgeon increased reach without excessive bulk at the field, improving visibility in deep or narrow exposures. The low-profile 16 mm blade width permits precise placement and controlled retraction in delicate microsurgical and neuroanatomic planes.
