Mathieu Surgical Retractor 8.0 mm Blade 15.9 cm (6.3)

Controlled Retraction with Two Working Ends

The Mathieu finger retractor is a double-ended surgical retractor designed to help provide controlled tissue retraction and access during procedures. Its 6 1/4-inch length supports handling within the operative field, while the 8.0mm-wide flat handle offers a defined surface for positioning and control. Three sharp prongs at each working end are suited to focused engagement where localized retraction is required. The plastic construction and insulated design support use in instrument setups across cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows. Its two-ended configuration gives the clinician access to alternative working ends without changing instruments during a task.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during general surgery procedures.
• Assist with focused exposure and access in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Provide controlled retraction during plastic surgery procedures where a compact, pronged working end is appropriate.
• Use either double-ended working surface according to the access point and retraction task.
• Handle and position the instrument using its flat handle during operative-field manipulation.
