9 1/2″ Coryllos Retractor 3 3/8″ x 3/4″ Blade

The 9 1/2″ Coryllos Retractor is a specialized cardiovascular instrument designed for stable and controlled retraction of soft tissue during thoracic, abdominal, and general surgical procedures. Its elongated blade allows effective engagement of tissue, offering excellent exposure while minimizing the need for excessive force.

With an overall length of 9 1/2 inches and a blade dimension of 3 3/8″ x 3/4″, this retractor provides a defined retraction profile for cardiovascular applications. The blade geometry distributes retraction pressure evenly, helping to reduce localized tissue trauma and improve patient safety.

Key Features

• 3 3/8″ x 3/4″ blade dimension provides a defined retraction profile.
• Elongated configuration for specialized working orientation.
• Designed for stable retraction of soft tissue.
• Suitable for cardiovascular and general surgery applications.
• Supports positioning of the working end within the operative field.
• Specialized Coryllos pattern for professional cardiovascular instrument sets.
• Corrosion-resistant surgical-grade German AISI 420 stainless steel construction.
• Autoclavable and reusable (Steam autoclave up to 134°C / 273°F).

Technical Specifications

The 9 1/2″ Coryllos Retractor combines a 9 1/2-inch overall length with a 3 3/8″ x 3/4″ blade and elongated configuration.
Its defined working profile is intended for stable retraction of soft tissue in cardiovascular applications.

Design & Function

The Coryllos Retractor features an elongated working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during tissue retraction. The blade design can assist in positioning the working end according to the requirements of the operative field.

The 3 3/8″ x 3/4″ blade profile provides a defined retraction profile, while the 9 1/2-inch overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for cardiovascular procedures requiring an elongated retractor.

Surgical Applications

The 9 1/2″ Coryllos Retractor may be used for cardiovascular and general surgery applications involving stable tissue retraction. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.

Handling & Instrument Care

Inspect the retractor before use, paying particular attention to the blade alignment and edges. 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 retractor appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
