The Cooley Sternotomy Retractor is a specialized pediatric and neonatal chest spreader engineered to provide precise, low-impact sternal separation. Available in scaled-down Newborn and Pediatric profiles with micro-pitch rack drives, it delivers controlled mediastinal exposure while safeguarding delicate rib cartilages.
Product Description
The Cooley Sternotomy Retractor is a precision-engineered pediatric cardiothoracic surgical instrument designed specifically to provide gentle, controlled sternal retraction in neonates and young children. Scaled down to accommodate smaller thoracic dimensions, this retractor establishes a wide, stable operative window into the cardiac chambers while preventing excessive focal torque on fragile infant bones.
Built for micro-mechanical accuracy, this Cooley Sternotomy Retractor series is offered in two specialized clinical profiles: a Newborn Profile (85.0 × 55.0 × 16.0 × 14.0 mm, $359) and a Pediatric Profile (115.0 × 80.0 × 30.0 × 15.0 mm, $369). Its finely calibrated gear rack allows millimeter-by-millimeter spread control, ensuring surgeons can achieve adequate visualization for congenital cardiac repairs without causing costochondral fractures. The contoured, polished blade edges seat smoothly against the sternal margins without slipping.
Manufactured from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Cooley Sternotomy Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing pediatric cardiac and congenital heart centers worldwide with high corrosion resistance, unyielding reliability, and clinical longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Cooley Sternotomy Retractor?
The Cooley Sternotomy 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 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Cooley Sternotomy Retractor used for?
The Cooley Sternotomy Retractor is used in congenital pediatric heart surgery to retract the divided pediatric sternum, providing hands-free access to the heart and great vessels without overstressing delicate cartilage.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation, coarctation repair, ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair, atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, and neonatal arterial switch operations.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
Is the Cooley Sternotomy Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Cooley Sternotomy Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The micro-rack mechanism should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is an integrated mechanical chest spreader, each size profile is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both Newborn and Pediatric profiles to complete pediatric cardiac sets.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade depths, altered spread widths, 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 worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
