Ribbon Surgical Retractor 19.1 cm (7.5)

Malleable Access and Controlled Retraction

The ribbon retractor is a 7 1/2-inch malleable surgical retractor designed to help hold tissue aside and support operative access. Its 1-inch-wide blade provides a broad contact surface, while the flat handle offers a straightforward grip for positioning and adjustment. The malleable construction can support shaping to the needs of the operative field, helping teams manage exposure during cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery procedures. Its compact profile is suited to focused retraction tasks where controlled placement and practical handling are important throughout the surgical workflow.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and maintain access during general surgery procedures.
• Assist with controlled exposure in cardiovascular operative fields.
• Position and adjust retraction during plastic surgery procedures.
• Use the malleable blade to shape the retractor for the access needs of the operative field.
• Apply the 1-inch-wide blade when a broad, focused retraction surface is useful.
