Design & Function
The Cooley Sternal Retractor features a standard working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during neonatal cardiac procedures. The smooth expansion mechanism assists in positioning the working end according to the requirements of the operative field.
The 8.6 cm spread provides a defined retraction profile, while the 8 6cm overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for cardiovascular procedures requiring a sternal retractor.
Surgical Applications
The 8 6cm Cooley Sternal Retractor Newborn Spread may be used for cardiovascular and thoracic surgery applications involving atraumatic 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 expansion 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.
