Ribbon Surgical Retractor 33.0 cm (13.0)

Malleable Reach for Controlled Retraction and Clear Access

The Ribbon retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to gently hold tissue aside and support visualization during operative exposure. Its 13-inch length provides useful reach into the field, while the 1/4-inch-wide blade offers a narrow profile for focused retraction. The malleable construction allows the blade to be shaped to the working area, and the flat handle supports direct manual control during use. Suitable for cardiovascular and general surgery workflows, this retractor can help maintain access while adapting to changing anatomical and procedural requirements without adding unnecessary bulk to the operative field.

Use Cases

• Shape the malleable blade to support localized tissue retraction during general surgery exposure.
• Use the 13-inch reach when access requires working farther into the operative field.
• Position the narrow blade to help maintain a focused area of visualization during cardiovascular procedures.
• Use the flat handle for direct manual positioning and adjustment during retraction.
• Adapt the blade contour as the surgical field or access angle changes.

Care & Handling

• Handle the malleable blade carefully during shaping to maintain controlled, even adjustment.
