Clinical Application
Provides wide-span retraction for exposure of the sternum and adjacent upper abdominal structures. The bilateral configuration supports symmetric retraction of sternal halves or opposite sides of an abdominal incision, improving visualization and access for cardiothoracic, vascular and upper abdominal procedures as well as trauma or combined thoracoabdominal operations. Designed for use where sustained, stable exposure is required to facilitate safe dissection, vessel control and anastomosis work.
Design & Configuration
The bilateral (both-sides) layout positions retraction elements on either side of the midline to deliver balanced separation and consistent operative field exposure. The 530 x 660 mm span offers a wide working aperture to accommodate larger chest and upper abdominal cavities. This geometry reduces the need for continuous manual retraction, allowing the surgical team to maintain a stable field while instruments and assistants work within the exposed area. The overall form is suited to anchoring and supporting the incision edges without impeding instrument access.
