Parsonnet Self-Retaining Retractor, Epicardial Heart Retractor
Features and Description:
The Parsonnet Self-Retaining Retractor is a specialized instrument that cardiovascular surgeons use for epicardial and coronary procedures. This tool helps to provide a steady spread of small incisions during heart surgery. Because it features a self-retaining spring mechanism, it keeps the surgical field open without any manual assistance. Consequently, the surgeon can perform delicate suturing and vessel work with both hands free.
We manufacture these retractors from high-grade stainless steel to ensure a long life in the operating room. Therefore, they remain a reliable choice for every cardiac surgical kit.
Key Features and Benefits
- Self-Retaining Spring: First, the tension-based frame holds the tissue open automatically. This ensures a consistent and stable view of the epicardium.
- 3:3 Prong Configuration: Furthermore, each side features three fine prongs. These prongs grip the tissue securely. As a result, the instrument does not slip during critical moments.
- Precision Sizes: Since we offer two different spread options, you can choose the tool that fits the specific patient’s anatomy.
- Atraumatic Handling: We design the tips to be delicate yet firm. Consequently, the tool minimizes trauma to the sensitive heart tissues.
- Anti-Glare Finish: Additionally, the satin finish prevents reflections from bright surgical lights. This helps the surgical team stay focused on the small details.

Common Surgical Applications
Cardiovascular specialists primarily use the Par sonnet retractor for exposing coronary arteries. For example, it is a vital tool during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Likewise, surgeons find it useful for various epicardial procedures where space is very limited. Because the surgical-grade steel is highly durable, you can safely autoclave and reuse this tool for many years.
