Braastad Thoracic Retractor for Adults 330mm

Clinical Application

Provides stable retraction and exposure of the adult thoracic cavity to facilitate visualization and instrumentation during thoracotomy, sternotomy, lung resection, mediastinal procedures and other intrathoracic operations. Designed to support two‑handed surgical technique and improve access for dissection, hemostasis and anastomosis while minimizing the need for continuous manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The adult-size geometry and 330 mm overall dimension offer reach appropriate for average adult chest wall depth, enabling controlled lateral displacement of soft tissue and bony structures to create an optimal operative field. The retractor’s form factor is intended to deliver stable, evenly distributed retraction across the incision, reducing focal pressure on tissues and allowing assistants and surgeons to work without repeated repositioning.
