Ribbon Surgical Retractor 20.0 cm (8")

Adaptable Retraction for Controlled Surgical Access

The ribbon retractor is an 8-inch malleable retractor designed to provide focused tissue retraction and support visualization during open surgical procedures. Its 1/4-inch-wide blade offers a narrow profile for working within confined areas, while the flat handle provides a straightforward surface for controlled manual positioning. The malleable design can be shaped to suit the access angle and exposure requirements of the case, helping teams manage changing operative needs without changing instruments. Suitable for general surgery and cardiovascular applications, it supports practical handling during exposure, protection, and tissue management tasks.

Use Cases

• Shape the malleable blade to support localized retraction during general surgery exposure.
• Use the narrow blade profile when working around confined operative areas that require focused access.
• Position tissues or adjacent structures to improve the working view during cardiovascular procedures.
• Use the flat handle for direct manual control while adjusting retraction during an open surgical workflow.

Specifications

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the blade and flat handle before and after use for visible damage, distortion, or surface concerns.
• Handle the malleable blade carefully during shaping and repositioning to support controlled use.
• Store the retractor in a manner that protects the blade and prevents unintended bending or contact damage.
