Balfour US-Type Complete Blade

Description

Balfour US-Type Complete Blade

This Balfour US-type blade is a complete center blade assembly for the Balfour retractor. It measures 45 x 80 mm.

A center blade

The Balfour retractor spreads the abdominal wall with its side blades. Then the center blade holds back tissue at the end of the wound. So it opens the third side of the field.

Complete assembly

This listing covers the complete center blade assembly. Therefore, you can fit it to a matching frame and start work. However, it is a component and not a full retractor.

Size

The 45 x 80 mm size gives a broad center hold for open abdominal work. If you need a different size, ask us before ordering. Also, we can confirm fit if you share your frame details.

US-type fit

Balfour frames come in more than one pattern, and parts do not always cross over. Because of that, check that yours is a US-type frame. Then this Balfour US-type blade will match your existing side blades and frame.

Looking after Balfour US-type blade

Separate the blade from the frame after each case, before any blood dries on it. Next, brush the blade face and the fitting that meets the frame. Finally, dry it well and store it with its matching frame.
