Sternal Abdominal Retractor one side 530x660mm

Clinical Application

This single-sided sternal abdominal retractor is intended to provide stable, unilateral retraction of sternal edges and adjacent abdominal wall during surgical exposure. It is used when asymmetric or one-sided displacement is needed to improve visualization and access in thoracic, cardiac and upper abdominal procedures, including median sternotomy and combined sterno-abdominal approaches. The design supports controlled, sustained retraction to maintain operative exposure while allowing the surgical team space on the opposite side for instruments and assistants.

Design & Configuration

The one-side configuration concentrates retraction force on a single arm, enabling targeted lateral displacement without an opposing mirror blade. The 530 x 660 mm footprint provides a broad area of contact for wide exposure and distribution of pressure over soft tissue and bone margins, reducing the need for frequent repositioning. The geometry facilitates unilateral access when the contra‑lateral field must remain unobstructed for instrumentation or monitoring.
