Sauerbruch Retractor 45x15mm, 22.5cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for controlled manual retraction of soft tissue to improve exposure in confined or shallow operative fields. The compact 45 x 15 mm blade and 22.5 cm overall length make it useful for procedures where focused, low-profile retraction is required — for example, small general surgery incisions, thoracic access through limited windows, ENT pockets, and plastic or reconstructive approaches where tissue protection and precision are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The narrow flat blade geometry concentrates retraction force over a limited area to provide targeted exposure while minimizing collateral tissue displacement. The 45 x 15 mm blade footprint offers a balance between surface area and profile, allowing the surgeon to retract small flaps or edges without obscuring the view. The 22.5 cm overall length gives adequate reach from the hand to the wound in most standard table setups while remaining maneuverable for single-handed use.
