Cervical Retractor Longitudinal Blade

stainless steel, ball snap closure, bluntCervical Retractor Fenestrated Blade is an added component to be used alongside the cervical retractor for general purpose soft tissue retraction. Both blades are made from stainless steel and a ball snap closure making them a tight fit. Each blade also features a blunt edge to prevent trauma and tearing during retraction and the fenestrations increase the surface area over which the pressure is distributed. They are available in variety of sizes and curvatures making it possible to find a suitable blade for soft tissue retraction in a number of neurosurgical scenarios and approaches to the spinal cord.

1 blunt prong, 13.0 mm depth, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm) Cervical Tissue Retractor is ideally crafted for soft tissue retraction in the cervical spinal area. This retractor also features one blunt prong that allows for exploration and movement without damage or trauma to surrounding tissue. This can be used in orthopedic neurosurgical procedures such as anterior laminectomies.

3.0 mm tip, 8" (20.0 cm) Adson Dura & Nerve Hook is crafted for use in a wide variety or neurosurgical procedures. This hook is a multipurpose instrument that can be used to retract nerves but can also be used to retract the dural layer of the meninges during craniotomies and spinal surgeries. Additionally this instrument is available with either a sharp or blunt tip making it suited for retraction of very delicate tissue matter with the blunt tip or less sensitive tissue with the sharp tip.

6.0 mm distal tip, 7" (17.5 cm) Blount Knee Retractor is a specialized instrument that is made for use in arthroplasty surgeries. The long narrow portion of this can be slid above the capsular ligament at the joint. It can also be fit around knee implants and thus is suitable for use in knee revision.
