Sklar Allison Lung Spatula, 54mm
A retractor used to gently hold back lung tissue during thoracic surgery, available in lengths from 11 to 12-3/4 inches. It supports procurement teams building or restocking specialty instrument sets.
The Sklar Allison Lung Spatula is a broad, flat retractor designed to hold lung tissue gently out of the way during thoracic surgical procedures, giving the surgeon clear access to structures within the chest cavity without applying excessive pressure to the delicate lung surface. This listing spans four variants combining lengths from 11 inches up to 12-3/4 inches with blade widths ranging from 30mm to 65mm, allowing the thoracic team to choose the size that best matches the chest cavity dimensions and the extent of lung retraction required for a given procedure.
The wider blade options provide broader coverage for larger retraction needs, while narrower blades suit more targeted exposure. Because thoracic procedures vary considerably in incision size and patient anatomy, thoracic surgery trays typically stock more than one length and width combination from this family so the correct spatula is available regardless of the specific case configuration encountered in theatre.
