Balfour Abdominal Retractor set – 7 1/8″ spread fixed blades

Controlled Abdominal Access for General Surgery

The Balfour Abdominal Retractor set – 7 1/8″ spread fixed blades is a surgical retractor designed to help maintain abdominal access during operative procedures. Its fixed-blade configuration provides a stable means of holding tissue and supporting the operative field while the surgical team works within the exposed area. The 7 1/8″ spread offers a defined working dimension for handling and positioning in relevant general surgery applications. As part of a surgical retractor setup, it can support organized instrument handling and visualization without requiring the operator to continually maintain manual retraction.

Use Cases

• Support abdominal exposure during general surgery procedures requiring sustained retraction.
• Position the fixed blades to help maintain access to the operative field.
• Use within a surgical retractor setup where stable, hands-off tissue retraction is appropriate.
• Assist the surgical team with maintaining visualization while instruments are used in the exposed area.
