The Spine/Trauma Deep Tissue Retractors are specialized surgical retractors designed for compatible spine and trauma procedures requiring controlled retraction of deeper tissue. The range includes a Standard configuration and a 7-Tooth configuration, with both maintaining the same overall length, handle-to-bend length, and drop depth.

The primary difference between the two configurations is the prong width. The Standard version features prongs measuring 1.5" (38 mm) long × 0.75" (19 mm) wide, while the 7-Tooth version has prongs measuring 1.5" (38 mm) long × 1.375" (35 mm) wide.

Available Configurations

Standard Deep Tissue Retractor

The Standard configuration measures 7.5" (19.1 cm) overall, with a 6" (15.2 cm) handle-to-bend length and 3.25" (8.3 cm) drop depth. Its prongs measure 1.5" (38 mm) long × 0.75" (19 mm) wide.

7-Tooth Deep Tissue Retractor

The 7-Tooth configuration has the same 7.5" (19.1 cm) overall length, 6" (15.2 cm) handle-to-bend length, and 3.25" (8.3 cm) drop depth. Its prongs measure 1.5" (38 mm) long × 1.375" (35 mm) wide and feature a 7-tooth configuration.

Design and Configuration

Both variations share the same primary instrument dimensions:

• Overall Length: 7.5" (19.1 cm)
• Handle-to-Bend Length: 6" (15.2 cm)
• Drop Depth: 3.25" (8.3 cm)
• Prong Length: 1.5" (38 mm)

The prong width differs between the two configurations.

Spine and Trauma Applications

These retractors are designed for compatible spinal and trauma surgical applications involving deep tissue retraction. Selection should be based on the required prong configuration and applicable surgical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

Select the appropriate configuration according to the intended application and required working dimensions. The retractor should be handled by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in accordance with the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer instructions.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the retractor according to validated instrument-processing procedures. Inspect the prongs, bend, handle, and working surfaces for contamination, deformation, wear, or other damage.

Sterilization and Inspection

Inspect the instrument for cleanliness, mechanical integrity, and proper condition before use. Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and applicable healthcare facility protocols.
