Balfour abdominal retractor set 10" spread fixed blades

Controlled Retraction for Abdominal Surgical Access

The Balfour abdominal retractor set is a surgical retractor designed to hold abdominal tissue away from the operative field during open procedures. Its fixed-blade configuration supports a consistent retraction setup, while the 10-inch overall length provides a practical reach for positioning around the surgical site. As part of a general surgery instrument set, it helps organize the working area and maintain access during procedures that require abdominal exposure. The design is also relevant to surgical retractor workflows where dependable placement, clear handling, and repeatable setup are important to the operating team.

Use Cases

• Support abdominal tissue retraction during open general surgery procedures.
• Position the fixed blades to help maintain access to the operative field.
• Use within a surgical retractor setup when a stable, fixed-blade configuration is appropriate.
• Incorporate into general surgery instrument workflows requiring organized abdominal exposure.
