Cooley Surgical Retractor 4.5 cm (1.8)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Cooley atrial valve retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue exposure during operative work. Its 9 1/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the named left-oriented, serrated blade configuration supports controlled positioning at the operative field. A 20.0 mm deep blade and round handle contribute to practical handling when steady retraction is required. The instrument is relevant to cardiovascular procedures involving atrial or valve exposure and to general-surgery workflows requiring focused tissue retraction. Its defined dimensions and straightforward manual format make it a practical addition to instrument sets where access and visualization must be maintained through careful, controlled use.

Use Cases

• Support controlled retraction during cardiovascular procedures involving atrial or valve exposure.
• Maintain a focused operative view while working around anatomically confined areas.
• Use the left-oriented blade configuration when access requires a retractor positioned from the corresponding side.
• Apply in general-surgery workflows where a hand-held retractor is needed for localized tissue exposure.
• Use the serrated blade surface to help maintain positioning during careful manual retraction.

Specifications

Care & Handling
