Middledorpf retractor 8" 22.0mm x 20.0mm fenestrated blade, hollow handle

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Middledorpf retractor is an 8-inch surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support a clearer working field during operative tasks. Its 22.0 mm x 20.0 mm fenestrated blade provides a defined contact surface, while the hollow handle supports straightforward manual handling. The compact format can be useful when controlled retraction and access are needed in cardiovascular and general surgery workflows. By combining a fenestrated blade with a practical handle design, this instrument helps the surgical team position and maintain retraction as procedure requirements change, while allowing the operator to work with a focused, task-oriented instrument profile.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue to help maintain exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Support controlled access when a defined fenestrated blade is appropriate for the operative task.
• Assist with tissue positioning during cardiovascular surgical workflows requiring manual retraction.
• Use the hollow handle to manipulate and reposition the retractor as the working field changes.
