Cooley sternal retractor, extra large 178.0mm x 152.0mm x 102.0mm x 29.0mm

Extra-Large Sternal Retraction for Controlled Surgical Access

The Cooley sternal retractor is an extra-large surgical retractor used to maintain separation of the sternum during procedures requiring an open operative field. Its 178.0 mm x 152.0 mm blade/prong size supports broad sternal engagement, while the 102.0 mm and 29.0 mm dimensions define its overall supplied configuration. This format can help teams establish working access in cardiovascular procedures and relevant general surgery settings where sternal retraction is required. The instrument provides a purpose-built option for positioning and maintaining retraction while supporting orderly instrument handling within the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Maintain sternal separation during cardiovascular procedures requiring an open operative field.
• Support sternal retraction tasks in general surgery when the procedure requires access through the sternum.
• Use the extra-large blade/prong configuration when broad engagement of the sternal edges is appropriate to the operative approach.
• Position and manage the retractor as part of a coordinated surgical exposure workflow.
