Tebbetts Fiber optic With Led Light Breast Retractor With Teeth 25mmx15cm Blade

The Tebbetts Fiber Optic LED Breast Retractor with Teeth is a specialized surgical instrument designed to provide controlled tissue retraction and enhanced visualization during breast and plastic surgery procedures. Its toothed blade provides controlled engagement with tissue, while the integrated fiber optic LED illumination helps direct focused light toward the operative field.

The retractor features a 25 mm × 15 cm (150 mm) blade, providing a defined working surface for maintaining tissue exposure. The toothed configuration is intended to provide controlled tissue engagement when appropriate for the surgical technique. Proper positioning and controlled retraction should always be used to minimize unnecessary pressure or trauma to surrounding tissues.

A major feature of this model is its fiber optic LED lighting system. Illumination positioned close to the surgical field can help reduce shadows and improve visualization compared with relying solely on conventional overhead lighting. The illumination system should be tested before use and connected only to the appropriate compatible system specified by the manufacturer.

The Tebbetts breast retractor may be used in procedures such as breast augmentation, breast reconstruction, breast reduction, mastopexy, and other plastic or reconstructive breast procedures where controlled tissue exposure is required. The exact application and positioning should be determined by the operating surgeon based on the procedure and patient anatomy.

The 25 mm blade width and 150 mm blade length provide a practical configuration for targeted tissue retraction. The toothed working edge can help maintain tissue positioning when appropriate, while the integrated illumination supports visibility around the retracted area.

Before every use, inspect the blade and teeth for damage, deformation, or retained material. The fiber optic and LED components, connectors, and associated illumination surfaces should also be checked for proper operation. Any damaged component or reduction in illumination performance 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 optical and LED components, as some cleaning or sterilization methods may not be appropriate for integrated lighting systems.

With its 25 mm × 150 mm toothed blade, fiber optic LED illumination, and Tebbetts design, this breast retractor is intended to support controlled tissue exposure and improved visualization in professional breast and plastic surgery settings.
