Heaney Surgical Retractor 28.0 mm Blade 8.2 cm (3.2)

Controlled Retraction with Flexible Access and Fiberoptic Illumination

The Heaney retractor is a double-ended surgical instrument used to hold tissue aside and support exposure during general surgery. Its 10 1/2-inch format provides useful reach, while the 82 mm by 28 mm serrated blade offers a defined retraction surface for controlled positioning. The flat handle supports straightforward manual handling, and the fiberoptic configuration is intended to assist illumination around the working area. With two working ends in one instrument, the retractor can support adjustments to access and tissue positioning without changing instruments as frequently during the procedure.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain access to the operative field during general surgery.
• Using the double-ended design to select the working end suited to the required retraction task.
• Positioning the serrated blade for controlled contact during manual tissue retraction.
• Supporting visualization in areas where fiberoptic illumination at the instrument is useful.
• Using the flat handle for direct handling and repositioning during operative exposure.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Inspect both ends, the serrated blade surfaces, flat handle, and fiberoptic features for residue, damage, or irregularities before use.
• Handle the serrated blades carefully to protect adjacent instruments and working surfaces during transport and processing.
• Store the retractor in a clean, protected arrangement that helps prevent contact damage and preserves access to both ends.
