The Allison Lung Retractor is a specialized thoracic spatula retractor designed to provide gentle, atraumatic lung parenchyma depression during open cardiothoracic procedures. Available in infant, child, and adult configurations with flexible wire-whisk spatulas up to 65 mm wide, it ensures expansive operative exposure without pulmonary laceration.
Product Description
The Allison Lung Retractor (frequently termed the Allison lung spatula) is an essential handheld thoracic surgical instrument engineered to depress and hold lung tissue away from the pericardium and mediastinum. Designed with a flexible wire-grid working end, this instrument distributes retractive force across an expansive contact surface to prevent localized parenchymal contusion and tissue shearing.
Adaptable across neonatal, pediatric, and adult thoracic interventions, the Allison Lung Retractor is manufactured across six distinct anatomical dimensions. Options range from compact 20 mm wide by 23 cm infant models up to wide 65 mm wide by 31 cm adult blades, including the standard 40 mm wide by 25.5 cm working configuration. Its solid ergonomic handle provides the operating surgeon with refined tactile feedback and leverage during long cardiac and pulmonary procedures.
Forged from non-magnetic, medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Allison Lung Retractor to withstand continuous hospital autoclaving cycles, delivering long-lasting mechanical flexibility and reliability to cardiothoracic departments worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Allison Lung Retractor?
The Allison Lung Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/316l) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Allison Lung Retractor used for?
The Allison Lung Retractor is used in open thoracic surgery to gently depress and retract the lung lobes, exposing underlying cardiac structures, the thoracic aorta, pulmonary vessels, or mediastinum without puncturing the lung.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for lobectomy, pneumonectomy, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, lung biopsy, and open mediastinal tumor resections.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with high elastic memory. The surface is treated with an anti-glare satin matte finish to prevent light bounce under bright operating lights.
Is the Allison Lung Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire instrument is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The wire grid should be inspected and cleaned thoroughly prior to autoclaving.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is a one-piece forged instrument, each size is sold as a standalone item. Facilities can order individual replacement sizes or full multi-size sets to stock thoracic surgical trays.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom wire-loop contours, specialized handle lengths, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?
In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for global air delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
