Cooley Surgical Retractor 3.8 cm (1.5)

Controlled Retraction for Focused Surgical Access

The Cooley atrial valve retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain exposure during cardiovascular and general surgery procedures. Its right-sided configuration, serrated 38.0 mm x 35.0 mm blade, and 15.0 mm depth support focused tissue retraction where a defined working area is needed. The 9 1/4-inch length provides reach from the operative field to the user’s hand, while the round handle offers a familiar gripping surface for controlled positioning. This combination helps organize access and visualization without introducing unnecessary instrument complexity into the surgical workflow.

Use Cases

• Support focused retraction and exposure during cardiovascular procedures involving atrial or valve access.
• Maintain a defined operative field when a right-sided retractor orientation is appropriate.
• Assist general surgery teams with localized tissue retraction where a serrated blade is suitable.
• Use the 15.0 mm-deep blade to help hold the intended retraction position during hands-on surgical exposure.
• Employ the round handle for deliberate positioning and adjustment during operative handling.
