Clinical Application
This spare perforated Fig.3 blade serves as a replacement blade for Fig.3-pattern retractor or handle systems used to provide consistent tissue retraction and exposure during open procedures. The 25 cm length offers extended reach for deeper cavities and operative fields, making it suitable for general surgery, orthopedics, trauma, and other specialties that rely on secure retraction. Perforations permit fluid drainage and allow suture passage or temporary fixation without obstructing the view of the field.
Design & Configuration
The Fig.3 perforated geometry combines a flat blade profile with strategically placed holes to reduce weight and surface contact while maintaining structural rigidity. This configuration improves visibility and fluid management at the wound margin and decreases bulk when working in narrow corridors. The blade is configured to mate with instruments and frames that accept Fig.3 replacement blades, providing a direct swap-in option to restore function of existing retractor assemblies.
