Sauerbruch Retractor 60x23mm, 22.5cm

Clinical Application

The Sauerbruch design provides a narrow, rectangular blade profile for controlled retraction in thoracic procedures and other confined operative fields. Its 60 x 23 mm blade and 22.5 cm overall length make it well suited for focused retraction of ribs, intercostal soft tissue, and small deep wounds where a low‑profile instrument is required to maintain exposure without obstructing visualization. Handheld use allows the assistant or surgeon to adjust tension and angle rapidly during thoracotomy, limited chest wall procedures, and selected general surgery applications.

Design & Configuration

The long shaft and relatively narrow blade provide reach into deeper cavities while minimizing the retractor footprint at the wound edge. A rectangular 60 x 23 mm blade delivers a concentrated contact area for precise tissue displacement, reducing the need for larger, bulkier retractors in tight spaces. As a handheld instrument, it offers quick repositioning and tactile control that can be advantageous during staged exposure or when frequent adjustments are required.
