The Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor is an interchangeable abdominal retractor set engineered for deep, hands-free operative exposure during open laparotomy and pelvic procedures. Featuring a heavy-duty spreader frame, 4 lateral blade pairs (65 mm to 155 mm deep), and two interchangeable center blades, it provides complete multi-depth tissue retraction.
Product Description
The Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor is an internationally recognized abdominal surgical retractor platform engineered to provide reliable, hands-free soft-tissue exposure across exploratory laparotomies and pelvic operations. By utilizing a rigid rack-and-pinion sliding frame, this instrument locks bilateral wound edges open with mechanical counter-traction, freeing surgical assistants and maintaining stable exposure.
Designed for comprehensive procedural flexibility, this Balfour USA Self Retractor set features an interchangeable modular architecture. The system includes a solid Balfour frame, four pairs of lateral blades (65 mm, 85 mm, 105 mm, and 155 mm deep) to handle both slender and bariatric abdominal walls, a 70 × 70 mm Balfour center blade, and a 70 × 100 mm straight center blade for deep bladder and visceral retraction.
Forged from non-magnetic, medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin finish, Retractor Maker supplies the Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor non-sterile and fully autoclavable inside an individual protective box, providing surgical centers with rugged reliability and complete autoclave compatibility.

What is the Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor used for?
The Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor is used in open abdominal and pelvic surgery to spread the abdominal wall laterally while simultaneously depressing the bladder or viscera with a central blade, establishing an expansive operative cavity without manual assistance.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for exploratory laparotomy, colectomy, appendectomy, open hysterectomy, cesarean section, cystectomy, prostatectomy, and open vascular abdominal interventions.
What material and finish are used?
All components are forged from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates reflection from overhead surgical lights.
Is the Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Balfour USA Self Retaining Retractor set is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave sterilization cycles (134°C / 273°F). The sliding arms and center blade thumb screws should be loosened prior to autoclaving.
