Breast Retractor Blades

Description

Breast Retractor Blades

This breast retractor blade lifts tissue to expose the pocket during breast surgery. Its smooth face spreads pressure across a wide area.

Two blade sizes

We offer 22 x 55 mm and 38 x 70 mm. The smaller blade suits tight incisions. Meanwhile, the larger one holds back more tissue in reduction work.

Why a smooth breast retractor blade

Teeth can bruise breast tissue. In addition, a smooth face avoids that. In addition, it lets implants slide in without snagging.

Where it fits

Plastic surgeons use it for augmentation, reduction and revision. It also helps during capsule work. Moreover, many trays carry both sizes.

Technique

Seat the blade under the upper flap of the pocket. Next, raise it gently and hold that position. Also, reposition the blade whenever the dissection moves on.

Why two sizes help

Augmentation through a small fold incision needs a slim blade. However, reduction work opens a much larger field. Keeping both sizes ready avoids pausing mid-case to find another retractor.
