Ribbon Retractor malleable 12x200mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction of soft tissue during open surgical procedures, this malleable ribbon retractor provides broad, low-profile exposure in superficial and deeper cavities. It is commonly used to hold back muscle, fascia, bowel, and other soft tissues in general, abdominal, vascular and orthopedic cases where a contourable, non-locking retractor is required. The flat profile allows distribution of retraction force over a wider area, helping maintain exposure while minimizing focal pressure.

Design & Configuration

The flat, ribbon-style blade can be manually contoured intraoperatively to match the anatomy or task, enabling surgeons to create custom curves for improved access and visualization. The 12 x 200 mm footprint provides a narrow, low-profile blade that reduces crowding at the incision while offering sufficient length to reach moderate depths. Because it is non-self-retaining, it is intended for handheld use or for temporary placement with clamps when needed.
