Sklar Borowski Aorta Retractor - 10", 28mm x 20mm - 55-7214

Yes, the Sklar Borowski Aorta Retractor is constructed entirely from premium, surgical-grade stainless steel. This ensures:

• Exceptional durability: Withstands the rigors of repeated surgical use.
• Easy Sterilization: Designed to handle standard hospital cleaning and autoclaving protocols.

Absolutely. The instrument features a hollow grip handle design. This structural choice serves two primary purposes:

• Weight Reduction: It makes the instrument significantly lighter, helping to reduce surgeon hand fatigue during prolonged procedures.
• Improved Ergonomics: The design provides a more comfortable, secure grip for precise maneuvers.

The fenestrated style working edge is specifically engineered for critical surgical applications, such as aortic manipulation. Its key benefits include:

• Better Visualization: The opening allows surgeons to better see underlying structures.
• Reduced Drag: It minimizes tissue contact and drag, allowing for smoother manipulation during retraction.

Yes, this instrument is designed for long-term, reusable use. Unlike disposable alternatives, this retractor is built to maintain its structural integrity and performance through multiple sterilization cycles, offering better long-term value for surgical facilities.

Yes, the Sklar Borowski Aorta Retractor is not made with natural rubber latex. This makes it an appropriate choice for medical environments that require latex-free equipment to ensure patient and staff safety.

Yes, Sklar provides a lifetime warranty for this instrument. This reflects the manufacturer’s confidence in the build quality, materials, and long-term reliability of the product.

Yes, the instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. This confirms it meets the regulatory requirements often necessary for procurement in government and specific public medical institution contracts.

Yes, it is purposefully designed for surgical procedures requiring precise, straight retraction. Its configuration, including the curved blade and fenestrated edge, makes it highly effective for cardiac or vascular operations where clear access to the aorta is vital.

The instrument is specifically engineered with a hollow grip handle. By reducing the overall mass of the retractor without sacrificing strength, it helps mitigate hand fatigue for the surgeon, which is particularly beneficial during complex or lengthy procedures.

Yes. Because it is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel with a functional, non-complex profile, it is designed for seamless integration into professional sterilization workflows. It withstands repeated processing while maintaining its surgical integrity.
