Large Sternal Retractor for Cardiovascular and General Surgery Thoracic Procedures

Reliable Sternal Access for Thoracic Surgical Workflows

The Large Sternal Retractor is a surgical retractor designed to hold the sternum apart during thoracic procedures, supporting access and visualization when working through a sternal opening. Its large format suits cardiovascular and general surgery applications in which stable retraction is part of the operative workflow. By maintaining separation of the sternal edges, it helps create working space for the surgical team while allowing instruments and attention to remain focused on the procedure. The retractor’s purpose-built role in thoracic surgery makes it a practical choice for teams seeking dependable exposure during applicable cardiovascular and general surgical procedures.

Use Cases

• Support sternal retraction during cardiovascular thoracic procedures.
• Maintain access and visualization through a sternal opening during general surgery thoracic procedures.
• Assist with exposure while the surgical team performs work within the thoracic operative field.
• Use as part of a retractor setup for procedures requiring separation of the sternal edges.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to the facility’s established protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the retractor before and after use for visible damage, contamination, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle carefully during setup, cleaning, and transport to help prevent impact or unnecessary mechanical stress.
