Cushing Retractor 18x200mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled soft-tissue exposure in confined surgical corridors, this retractor is typically used for delicate retraction during neurosurgical, spinal, vascular and general surgery procedures. The 18 mm blade width offers a narrow retraction footprint for targeted visualization, while the 200 mm length permits reach into deeper wounds or narrow operative fields without the need for excessive force or repeated repositioning.

Design & Configuration

The single, flat blunt blade minimizes focal pressure on tissue and reduces the risk of tearing during retraction. A slender 18 mm blade profile allows precise separation of soft tissues and improved line-of-sight around critical anatomy, while the 200 mm shaft length provides adequate reach in small to medium incisions and tubular approaches. The handheld configuration gives the assistant or surgeon direct control of retraction force and vector, which is important in procedures that require frequent adjustment or fine tissue protection.
