Surgical Retractor 3.8 cm (1.5)

Controlled Retraction for Focused Surgical Access

The 1 1/2" Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor 3×3 is a surgical retractor designed to support controlled tissue retraction and maintain exposure during operative work. Its epicardial configuration makes it relevant to cardiovascular procedures, while its retractor format can also support appropriate general surgery workflows requiring focused access and organized visualization. The compact 1 1/2" overall length is suited to handling in close operative fields, helping teams position the instrument deliberately while keeping manipulation near the site of use. Use it as part of a carefully coordinated technique that prioritizes controlled placement, clear visualization, and compatibility with facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Support epicardial retraction during cardiovascular surgical exposure.
• Assist with focused tissue retraction when working in a confined operative field.
• Help maintain an organized view of the surgical site during appropriate general surgery procedures.
• Provide deliberate, localized retraction as part of a coordinated instrument workflow.
