Crile Surgical Retractor 10.8 cm (4.2)

Two Blade Profiles for Controlled Surgical Retraction

The Crile retractor is a compact, double-ended surgical retractor designed to help hold tissue aside and improve access within a focused operative field. Its 4 1/4-inch length supports close, controlled handling, while the two blade profiles provide options for adapting retraction to the working area. The 1/8 x 7/16-inch and 1/4 x 13/16-inch blades can support visualization and access across cardiovascular, general surgery, and plastic surgery workflows. With both ends integrated into one instrument, teams can select the more suitable blade profile without reaching for a separate retractor during the task.

Use Cases

• Use the smaller blade profile for focused retraction where a compact contact area is helpful.
• Select the larger blade profile when broader tissue displacement is appropriate to the working area.
• Support exposure and visualization during general surgery procedures requiring a compact hand-held retractor.
• Use within cardiovascular surgical workflows when controlled, localized retraction is needed near a focused operative field.
• Apply in plastic surgery tasks where access and careful tissue handling are part of the procedural workflow.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument according to facility procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect both blade ends and the instrument surface before and after use for visible soil, damage, or deformation.
• Handle the retractor carefully to protect the blade edges and avoid contact with other instruments that could cause damage.
• Store in a clean, protected location where the double-ended blades will not be bent or struck.
