Cushing Retractor 16x200mm

Clinical Application

This narrow-profile retractor is designed to provide controlled, atraumatic retraction of soft tissues in procedures that require a slim blade and extended reach. The 16 x 200 mm blade is suited to narrow corridors and deep cavities commonly encountered in neurosurgical, cranial, spinal and ENT exposures, where minimizing footprint and maintaining a clear line of sight are important. It is intended for handheld use by the surgeon or assistant to maintain localized tissue separation during dissection or repair.

Design & Configuration

The slender 16 mm blade width reduces obstruction of the operative field while the 200 mm length provides reach into deeper operative sites. A flat blade profile with atraumatic, rounded edges helps distribute retraction pressure across a broader tissue surface to reduce focal trauma. The single-ended configuration offers straightforward handling and rapid placement or removal during dynamic phases of a case, making it practical for short- and long-duration retraction tasks where fine control is required.
