Breast retractor
Code:
Description
A breast retractor is a specialized surgical instrument designed to hold back soft tissue—specifically breast tissue, fat, and skin—to create and maintain a clear, unobstructed surgical field during procedures on the breast.
Their primary function is exposure. By gently and precisely retracting tissue, these instruments allow surgeons optimal visibility and access to underlying anatomical structures, such as tumors, ducts, blood vessels, and muscle. This is fundamental for performing precise, safe, and efficient surgery while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue.
