Controlled Sternal Access for Cardiovascular and General Surgery

The Gerbode Sternal Retractors standard 5 7/8" spread is a retractor designed to hold the sternum apart during procedures requiring stable access to the operative field. Its standard configuration and defined spread support consistent positioning and practical handling in cardiovascular and general surgery workflows. By maintaining the intended opening, the instrument can help keep the surgical site accessible while the team works through a sternotomy. The 5 7/8" spread provides a clearly defined working dimension, while the 5.875" overall length offers a compact format for controlled placement and manipulation within the operative setup.

Use Cases

Retracting the sternum to maintain access during cardiovascular surgical procedures.
Supporting sternal exposure in general surgery procedures where a sternal retractor is appropriate.
Maintaining a consistent 5 7/8" spread while the surgical team works within the operative field.
Providing a standard-length retractor format for controlled placement, adjustment, and removal.
