Balfour Abdominal Retractor - 25 cm (9 7/8")
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Balfour Abdominal Retractor - 25 cm (9 7/8") is designed to provide superior exposure in large and deep abdominal surgeries. Developed by Dr. Donald C. Balfour, this retractor is a staple in procedures requiring extensive access, allowing for effective retraction and clear visualization of the surgical field.
- Double-Ended Design: This retractor features adjustable side blades measuring 100 mm wide and 35 mm tall, along with a 70 mm x 85 mm central saddle blade. The 250 mm (25 cm) maximum spread is critical for surgeries requiring broad and deep access.
- Self-Retaining Mechanism: The ratchet-locking system ensures the blades stay securely in place, enabling hands-free operation and maintaining a stable surgical field.
- Ergonomic and Adjustable: The flat handle design allows for a secure grip, minimizing hand fatigue during extended procedures. The adjustable side blades can be configured to optimize the surgical field.
This Balfour Abdominal Retractor with 100 mm x 35 mm side blades, 70 mm x 85 mm saddle and 250 mm maximum spread can be used for a variety of procedures:
- General Surgery: Perfect for large abdominal surgeries, including complex bowel resections, extensive colectomies, and other deep exploratory procedures.
- Gynecological Procedures: Provides maximum exposure for advanced procedures such as radical hysterectomies or extensive pelvic surgeries.
- Orthopedic Surgery: Ideal for surgeries involving deep pelvic or abdominal access, such as joint reconstructions or large bone procedures.
- Vascular Surgery: Suitable for complex vascular operations requiring broad exposure, such as aortic aneurysm repairs.
- Plastic Surgery: Often used in extensive reconstructive surgeries or procedures involving large tissue flaps and deep access.
