Balfour Abdominal Retractor 150 mm Spread with Central Blade

The Balfour Abdominal Retractor is a heavy-duty surgical instrument that surgeons use to maintain wide exposure during major abdominal procedures. This tool is essential for laparotomies and other deep-cavity surgeries because it features a powerful three-way retraction system. Because the instrument includes two lateral blades and one central blade, it holds back tissue from multiple directions at the same time. Consequently, the surgical team gains a complete and stable view of the internal organs.

We manufacture this retractor from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. Therefore, it delivers the massive strength needed for retracting thick abdominal walls and organs.

Key Features and Benefits

• Three-Way Retraction: First, the design includes two fenestrated lateral blades and one solid central blade. This unique system provides excellent exposure of the surgical field from all sides.
• Wide 150 mm Spread: Furthermore, the sturdy frame allows for a maximum spread of 150 mm. As a result, you gain plenty of space to perform complex internal tasks safely.
• Optimal Blade Sizes: Since the lateral blades measure 30 x 63 mm and 34 x 63 mm, they distribute pressure evenly. Additionally, the large central blade (80 x 45 mm) effectively holds back the bladder or intestines.
• Self-Locking Mechanism: Because the central bar locks securely with thumb-screws, the retractor stays exactly where you set it. This creates a stable and consistent surgical field throughout the operation.
• Anti-Glare Finish: We apply a satin finish to the steel. Therefore, the tool does not reflect bright surgical lights, which helps reduce eye strain for the team.

Common Surgical Applications

Many doctors choose the Balfour retractor for major surgical tasks. For example, it is a primary choice for bowel resections, gastric surgeries, and hysterectomies. Likewise, urologists find it very helpful for major bladder or prostate procedures. Because the central blade effectively retracts the bladder or bowel, the tool remains an essential part of every general surgery kit.
