Clinical Application
Provides broad, atraumatic retraction of soft tissues and viscera in deep or wide operative fields. The flat, flexible blade is commonly used in general and abdominal procedures to retract bowel, omentum, and abdominal wall edges; it is also useful in gynecologic, thoracic, and certain orthopedic exposures where a low-profile, conformable retractor is required. The ribbon geometry distributes pressure over a wider area to reduce focal tissue compression while maintaining clear access to the surgical site.
Design & Configuration
The flat, flexible ribbon design allows the blade to be shaped to the anatomy and laid along tissue surfaces to provide broad, gentle retraction. The 50 mm width creates a wide contact surface that reduces tissue strangulation compared with narrow blade retractors, while the 330 mm length affords extended reach into deeper cavities. The low-profile configuration minimizes obstruction of the surgeon's field and can be used manually or secured to auxiliary retractor systems as needed.
