Heitmiller mini-thoractomy retractor 3x3 prongs

Heitmiller Mini-Thoracotomy Retractor with 3 x 3 Prongs

The Heitmiller mini-thoracotomy retractor with 3 x 3 prongs is designed to provide controlled exposure in limited-access thoracic procedures. Its prong configuration helps hold tissue edges during mini-thoracotomy, supporting visibility for the surgical team in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics. The Heitmiller pattern is built for precise placement in small incisions, and the 3 x 3 prongs help distribute retraction across the working field. This instrument is suitable for thoracic surgical setups where access and organization matter. Confirm technique and sterilization according to your facility protocols and surgeon preference.
