A cardiac retractor is a specialized surgical instrument designed to hold open the chest cavity during cardiac procedures, allowing surgeons clear access to the heart and surrounding structures. These retractors are typically made from stainless steel or other biocompatible materials to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different surgical techniques and patient anatomies.
| Material | Stainless steel or titanium |
| Size range | Varies by design, typically 10 to 30 cm |
| Weight | Approximately 200 to 500 grams |
| Finish | Polished or matte finish |
| Sterilization method | Autoclave or ethylene oxide |
When selecting a cardiac retractor, consider the specific surgical procedures it will be used for, as different designs may be required for various techniques. It's important to specify the material, size, and type of finish needed for compatibility with sterilization processes. Additionally, inquire about the weight and balance of the retractor, as this can affect ease of use during surgery. Quantities may vary based on institutional needs, so be prepared to discuss your requirements with suppliers.
