Balfour Self-Retaining Retractor 8.9 cm (3.5)

Reliable Side-Blade Support for Controlled Abdominal Retraction

The Balfour abdominal retractor solid side blades are a paired set of 3 1/2-inch-deep blades designed to provide side-wall retraction when used with a compatible Balfour abdominal retractor. Their solid construction supports a broad contact surface for organized instrument setup and controlled access during applicable surgical procedures. Supplied as a pair, they help maintain a matched configuration and streamline preparation for General Surgery workflows. They may also support compatible Neurosurgery workflows where this retractor system and blade configuration are appropriate. The defined depth offers practical reach while helping teams select the intended component for their retraction requirements.

Use Cases

• Add matched solid side blades to a compatible Balfour abdominal retractor for side-wall retraction.
• Prepare a paired blade configuration for applicable General Surgery procedures requiring organized abdominal access.
• Support compatible Neurosurgery workflows when the Balfour retractor system and 3 1/2-inch blade depth meet the procedural setup requirements.
• Use the solid side-blade design to maintain a broad, stable retraction interface during instrument positioning and adjustment.
• Keep the supplied pair together during setup, inspection, and storage to support efficient retractor preparation.

Specifications

Care & Handling
