Ross Aortic Wall Retractor 25x39mm, 27cm

Clinical Application

This aortic wall retractor is intended to provide controlled exposure and stabilization of the aortic wall during open cardiac procedures. Common uses include retraction of the ascending aorta and aortic root exposure during valve repair or replacement, root reconstruction, and procedures requiring precise visualization and access to the aortic wall.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a broad, rectangular blade (25 x 39 mm) mounted on a 27 cm shaft to reach the operative field within the thoracic cavity while keeping the surgeon’s hands clear of the wound. The flat, wide blade geometry distributes contact forces across the aortic surface to minimize focal pressure and reduce tissue trauma while maintaining stable exposure. The overall length balances reach and control for use in median sternotomy and limited-access approaches.
