Meyerding Finger Retractor

Center Blades for balfour retractor systems w/ fixed side blade Balfour Supra-Pubic Center Blades can be useful during procedures such as a Suprapubic cystotomy. When the bladder is retracted, this instrument provides the surgeon with a larger viewing area so that the procedure can be conducted. This blade is presented in two different sizes.

Cottle Tenaculum angled, 6-1/4" (16.0 cm) Cottle Tenaculum has a long, slim handle with a hook that tapers into an angled point. The primary use of this hook is to grasp or hold tissue away from the surgical site in order to provide the surgeon with greater visibility to the area. This instrument is offered in a 6 ¼" length.

Double-Ended double-ended, 1" wide x 9" long Deaver Retractor is typically used during abdominal procedures to keep the organs from interfering with the surgical site. This double-ended instrument has a long, curved blade on one end and a short, right angle blade on the other end. The shorter end may help to retract the walls of the bladder during intravesical surgeries, and the longer end may be helpful for deeper retractions.

For balfour retractor systems w/ fixed side blades, 2-3/4" wide x 4" deep Balfour Extra-Deep Center Blades consists of a 4" deep blade that is curved at a right-angle. This blade may be intended for larger patients or for accessing deeper areas of the abdominal cavity so that they can be held in place. Another feature of this center blade is that it contains loop holes in the center slot so that it can provide different spreads.
