The 08-237-24 Sterberg pattern is a 135 mm handheld instrument intended for manual tissue retraction and operative exposure. Its 135 mm length places it between the shorter and longer Sterberg options, providing a useful middle-ground size for teams that need more working reach without moving to a substantially longer instrument. The model is part of a recognized general surgical retractor family and can be incorporated into procedure-specific trays where compact instruments are preferred.
When selecting retractor sizes, the 08-237-24 gives procurement staff a clearly defined 135 mm option. This can be helpful for facilities maintaining multiple instrument lengths for different access requirements.
* Sterberg pattern: Provides a consistent configuration for manual tissue exposure and straightforward identification during tray preparation.
* 135 mm length: Adds useful reach compared with the 120 and 130 mm variants while remaining relatively compact.
* Close-field handling: The shorter overall profile can support controlled positioning when the operative site does not require deep access.
* General exposure: Intended to hold selected tissue away from the working area, supporting visibility and access during appropriate procedures.
The 08-237-24 can serve hospitals, surgical centers, and distributors that maintain organized sets with several retraction dimensions. Keeping distinct lengths available allows staff to select an instrument according to the field rather than adapting one size to every case. Add this 135 mm Sterberg model to your professional surgical instrument inventory when its configuration matches your requirements. It also helps maintain a graduated selection of Sterberg instruments within a well-organized tray.
