Contour Self-Retaining Scalp Retractor

The Contour Self-Retaining Scalp Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 3×4 Blunt Prongs ($99.00) or 3×4 Sharp Prongs ($99.00), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 14 cm (approx. 5.5 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Contour Self-Retaining Scalp Retractor is used in neurosurgery to spread scalp incisions apart and hold galeal tissue flaps away from the skull, maintaining an unhindered field for burr hole placement and craniotomy.

It is indicated for pterional craniotomy, burr hole drainage, decompressive craniectomy, trauma flap elevation, and localized spinal exposures.

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that suppresses optical reflections under surgical operating microscopes and headlights.

Yes. The entire Contour Self-Retaining Scalp Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). Ratchet teeth and box joints should be lubricated periodically.

Because this is an integrated mechanical retractor, each prong configuration is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both blunt and sharp versions to complete neurosurgical sets.

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom prong lengths, modified chassis widths, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.
