Sick Children Hospital Toronto Sternal Retractor Infant 20x60x75mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction of the sternum in infants, this pediatric sternal retractor provides access for cardiac and thoracic procedures performed through a median sternotomy. Its small working dimensions support exposure for congenital heart repairs, neonatal and infant bypass procedures, and other delicate intrathoracic interventions where minimizing tissue trauma and optimizing the operative field are critical.

Design & Configuration

The infant-sized geometry prioritizes low-profile, precise sternal separation tailored to narrow pediatric chest cavities. Compact blade dimensions reduce unnecessary extension into the surgical field, improving surgeon access while limiting shear forces on the sternal edges. The configuration supports controlled, symmetrical retraction to maintain a stable operative exposure during delicate intracardiac maneuvers.
