Tebbetts Fiber optic With Led Light Breast Retractor 150mmX30mm Blade smooth end

The Tebbetts Fiber Optic LED Breast Retractor 150 mm × 30 mm with Smooth End is a specialized surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled tissue retraction and improved visualization during breast and plastic surgery procedures. Its smooth-ended blade provides a defined working surface for maintaining tissue exposure while the integrated LED illumination helps direct focused light toward the operative field.

The retractor features a 30 mm wide × 150 mm long blade, providing a practical working area for tissue retraction. Unlike a toothed retractor, the smooth-end configuration is designed without teeth at the working end, making it suitable for surgical techniques where a smooth retraction surface is preferred. The appropriate application and amount of retraction should always be determined by the operating surgeon.

An important feature of this model is its fiber optic LED illumination. Positioning the light close to the surgical field can help provide focused illumination and reduce shadows that may occur with conventional operating-room lighting. Proper operation depends on the compatible illumination system, and the light should be tested before the instrument is used.

The Tebbetts breast retractor may be incorporated into breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, breast reduction, mastopexy, and other plastic or reconstructive breast procedures where controlled tissue exposure is required. The surgeon should determine the appropriate positioning and technique based on the procedure and patient anatomy.

The smooth blade end can provide a continuous retraction surface for tissue handling where a toothed edge is not required. Careful placement and controlled pressure remain important to help minimize unnecessary tissue compression or trauma.

Before each use, the blade should be inspected for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, or contamination. The fiber optic and LED components, connections, and illumination surfaces should also be checked to ensure proper function. Any damaged component or reduced light output should be evaluated before clinical use.

If the instrument is supplied as reusable, it should be cleaned and sterilized according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's approved instrument-processing protocols. Particular care should be taken with the fiber optic and LED components, as inappropriate processing may affect illumination performance or damage integrated components.

The supplied specifications identify the Tebbetts design, 150 mm × 30 mm blade, smooth end, fiber optic illumination, and LED light. Material, overall length, and exact connector specifications were not provided and should be confirmed with the manufacturer or supplier when required.

With its smooth-end blade, fiber optic LED illumination, and 150 mm × 30 mm working dimensions, the Tebbetts Breast Retractor is designed to support controlled tissue exposure and improved visualization in professional breast and plastic surgery settings.
