Cooley Surgical Retractor 23.5 cm (9.2)

Controlled Access for Cardiac and General Surgical Retraction

The Cooley atrial valve retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support access during operative work. Its 9 1/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the left configuration and 19.0 mm x 19.0 mm serrated blade support targeted positioning within the operative field. The 9.0 mm blade depth is suited to controlled retraction where a defined profile is helpful, and the round handle provides a familiar surface for manual handling. In cardiovascular procedures, it is named for atrial valve retraction; in general surgery, it can support focused exposure where its specified blade geometry is appropriate.

Use Cases

• Support atrial valve retraction during cardiovascular procedures.
• Assist with focused exposure and tissue retraction in general surgical workflows.
• Use the left-sided configuration when the operative approach calls for that orientation.
• Position the serrated blade to help maintain contact during controlled manual retraction.
• Use the 9 1/4-inch reach when access from the surgeon’s hand to the operative field benefits from added length.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the serrated blade, edges, junctions, and round handle before and after use for visible damage, residue, or deformation.
• Handle the serrated blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect the instrument and surrounding items.
• Store the retractor in a manner that prevents impact, bending, or contact damage to the blade.
