Design & Function
The Favaloro-Morse Sternal Retractor features a symmetrical working configuration designed to provide balanced orientation during open-heart procedures. The spreading capacity can assist in positioning the retracting arms according to the requirements of the operative field.
The 20 cm spreading capacity provides a defined retraction profile, while the 7 3/4-inch overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for cardiac procedures requiring a sternal retractor.
Surgical Applications
The 7 3/4″ Favaloro-Morse Sternal Retractor may be used for cardiac and thoracic surgery applications involving sternal retraction. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.
Handling & Instrument Care
Inspect the sternal retractor before use, paying particular attention to the working end and adjustment mechanism. Ensure the instrument is properly aligned and free from visible damage or wear before use.
After use, clean and process the instrument according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established instrument-processing protocols. Store the sternal retractor appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
