Sklar Sailer Soft Tissue Retractor, 6 Sizes
A 6 inch retractor with a concaved, bent downward blade, used to hold soft tissue clear of the field, available in six blade sizes.
The Sklar Sailer Soft Tissue Retractor is a hand held retractor measuring 6 inches, with a concaved blade bent downward to hook gently under and lift soft tissue clear of the surgical field. This listing spans six blade sizes, from 25x7mm up to 80x16mm, giving the surgeon a size suited to the area being retracted, from smaller, more localised fields to broader tissue planes.
The concaved, downward bent blade shape is designed to sit comfortably against the tissue surface and hold it back without slipping, which is useful in procedures across general, plastic and reconstructive surgery where soft tissue needs to be held aside to expose the working area beneath. Having a full range of sizes under one named pattern lets a department stock a consistent retractor style across different case types rather than switching between unrelated instruments.
As a reusable stainless surgical instrument, it is sterilised between cases and kept in the relevant specialty's retraction instrument set.
