Sauerbruch Retractor 125x37mm, 25cm

Clinical Application

This Sauerbruch-style retractor is designed to provide wide, stable exposure of the chest wall and thoracic cavity during open procedures. The broad 125 x 37 mm blade offers a large contact surface for atraumatic retraction of soft tissue and ribs during thoracotomy, pleural access, and other chest-wall interventions. Its 25 cm overall length allows the blade to reach deeper surgical planes while remaining convenient for hand-held use by the surgeon or assistant.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's broad, flat blade geometry distributes retraction forces across a larger surface area, reducing focal pressure and minimizing tissue trauma compared with narrow hooks. The hand-held configuration provides direct tactile feedback and fine positional control for targeted exposure. The blade dimensions (125 x 37 mm) balance surface area and maneuverability, while the 25 cm length supports access to deeper thoracic or soft-tissue spaces without excess bulk.
