22 cm, 8″ Blunt
The 08-236-22 Sterberg is a 130 mm handheld surgical instrument intended for tissue exposure in situations where a compact working profile is preferred. Compared with the shorter 120 mm Sterberg pattern, this model provides an additional 10 mm of overall length, giving the operator slightly more reach while remaining suitable for close operative work. The instrument belongs to the general retractor range and can be selected when a tray requires several length options within the same pattern family.
A useful feature for procurement teams is the clear distinction between the Sterberg variants. The 08-236-22 offers a middle size within the 120 to 140 mm sequence, helping facilities match instrument dimensions to procedural requirements rather than relying on one standard size. The retractor can therefore complement compact handheld sets where controlled positioning is important.
* Sterberg pattern: Provides a recognized configuration for manual tissue exposure and straightforward instrument identification.
* 130 mm overall length: Offers a balance between close-field maneuverability and modest additional reach.
* Compact profile: Works well in trays intended for procedures where larger, longer instruments may be unnecessary.
* Manual exposure: Supports holding selected tissue structures away from the working area to maintain access and visualization.
For hospitals, ambulatory facilities, and professional surgical distributors, this model provides another practical size within the Sterberg family. Its defined 130 mm format makes it useful when consistent instrument selection and predictable handling are priorities. Include the 08-236-22 in a surgical set when this length and pattern meet your clinical requirements.
