Bionex Balfour Retractor, Adult and Child

The Bionex Balfour Retractor is a self retaining stainless steel retractor used in abdominal surgery to hold an incision open without needing an assistant to maintain constant hand pressure. Its frame typically has two side blades and a central blade that can be adjusted, allowing the surgical team to spread the incision to the width required for the procedure and then lock it in place, freeing hands for other tasks.

This kind of self retaining design is especially valuable during longer abdominal procedures where sustained, even retraction is needed over an extended period. This listing covers the retractor in both adult and child sizes, so it can be matched to the patient's size and the scale of the surgical field, from paediatric abdominal surgery to standard adult procedures.

Made from stainless steel, it is autoclavable and built to handle the repeated sterilisation cycles expected of a reusable surgical retractor in a hospital operating theatre. General surgeons, paediatric surgeons and operating theatre teams use Balfour retractors as a standard part of their abdominal surgery instrument set, reprocessing the retractor between cases according to the facility's sterilisation protocol.
