Cushing Retractor – 8 to 18 mm | 24 cm (9½”) | 1:3 | Full Width Range | Neurosurgical Retractor
Features and Description:
Cushing Retractor | 8 mm – 18 mm Blade Width | 24 cm (9½”) | 1:3 Ratio
The Cushing Retractor in the 24 cm (9½”) series bridges the gap between compact and extended reach, offering surgeons a precisely graduated selection of blade widths for demanding neurosurgical, spinal, and deep wound procedures. Available in six blade widths — 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, and 18 mm — all maintaining a consistent 24 cm (9½”) length and 1:3 ratio, this range delivers exceptional intraoperative versatility for surgeons requiring greater instrument reach without sacrificing precision or control.
Key Features:
- Six Blade Width Options – 8 mm through 18 mm in precise 2 mm increments for exact matching to wound dimensions and surgical access requirements
- Extended 24 cm (9½”) Instrument Length – Ideal for deeper surgical fields where the 20 cm variant falls short, offering enhanced reach in spinal, cranial, and complex wound procedures
- 1:3 Instrument Ratio – Precisely engineered leverage geometry ensuring consistent, controlled retraction force uniformly across all six blade widths
- Atraumatic Blade Profile – Smooth, carefully contoured blade edges designed to safeguard delicate neural, vascular, and soft tissue structures throughout retraction
- Ergonomic Handle Design – Well-balanced construction minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged neurosurgical and deep tissue procedures
- Premium Stainless Steel Construction – Fully autoclave compatible for repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles and exceptional long-term instrument durability
- Classic Cushing Pedigree – A globally trusted surgical design used across neurosurgery, cranial surgery, spinal surgery, and general surgical specialties
