Ribbon Surgical Retractor 3.2 cm (1.3)

Adaptable Ribbon Retraction for Controlled Surgical Access

The Ribbon retractor is a 10-inch malleable retractor with a 1 1/4-inch-wide blade and flat handle, designed to support manual retraction during surgical exposure. Its malleable construction allows the blade to be shaped as needed for the operative field, while the flat handle provides a straightforward contact point for positioning and control. The ribbon-style blade can support access and visualization workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery applications. Its compact profile and defined dimensions make it a practical option when adaptable, hand-held tissue retraction is required.

Use Cases

• Shape the malleable ribbon blade to support exposure during cardiovascular procedures.
• Use for manual retraction and operative-field access in general surgery.
• Support controlled retraction during neurosurgical procedures where adaptable positioning is useful.
• Employ in plastic surgery workflows requiring hand-held retraction around contoured operative sites.
• Use the flat handle to position and maintain the retractor during routine surgical exposure.
