Middledorpf retractor 8 30.0mm x 26.0mm fenestrated blade, hollow handle

Controlled Retraction for Clear, Practical Surgical Access

The Middledorpf retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue separation during operative exposure. Its 8-inch length provides useful reach, while the 30.0 mm x 26.0 mm fenestrated blade presents a defined retraction surface for controlled positioning. The hollow handle supports routine instrument handling during procedures where access and visualization must be managed carefully. Suitable for use in both cardiovascular and general surgery settings, this retractor offers a straightforward configuration for focused tissue retraction without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument tray.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue retraction during general surgery procedures requiring maintained exposure.
• Assist with access and visualization when a handheld retractor is appropriate for the operative field.
• Use the fenestrated blade to position the retraction surface in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Handle and reposition the instrument through its hollow handle during focused surgical exposure tasks.
