Hibbs Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Practical Retraction Support for Open Surgical Access

The Hibbs retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue exposure during open procedures. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while the 3-inch by 1-inch flat blade presents a broad surface for controlled retraction. The flat handle supports a straightforward hand position for placement and adjustment as the surgical field changes. This configuration can support exposure-focused workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic settings where dependable manual retraction is required. Its simple design helps teams incorporate the instrument into routine preparation, positioning, and intraoperative handling without adding unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Support manual retraction to help maintain access and visualization during open general surgery procedures.
• Assist with tissue exposure in cardiovascular surgical workflows when a hand-held retractor is appropriate.
• Provide broad-blade retraction support during orthopedic procedures involving open access.
• Use the flat handle to position, adjust, and hold the retractor during exposure-focused surgical tasks.
• Apply the 3-inch by 1-inch blade where a broad, flat retraction surface is useful.
