55 * 63mm 23 cm, 9
The Tuffier Retractor (08-600-23) is a 23cm instrument with a 55×63mm blade, recognized for its use in exposing deeper surgical fields, particularly in thoracic and abdominal access where a broad, near-square blade profile helps hold back substantial tissue volume.
1. Length: 23cm
2. Blade dimensions: 55×63mm
3. Function: deep tissue exposure in thoracic and abdominal fields
4. Material: surgical-grade stainless steel
That near-square blade shape distributes retraction pressure evenly across a broad area, similar in principle to the Mikulicz pattern nearby, but with different proportions suited to a slightly different range of surgical applications.
Among the retractors used for deep surgical access, the Tuffier pattern rounds out this category’s coverage for procedures requiring substantial tissue displacement, giving practices another dependable option alongside the Deaver and Mikulicz patterns already covered.
Built from surgical-grade stainless steel, this retractor withstands the mechanical demands of sustained deep retraction and repeated sterilization cycles, holding its blade shape and rigidity reliably over years of major surgical use.
