$44.00USD
The Crawford Aortic Retractor is a specialized 19 cm cardiovascular instrument engineered to safely retract the aorta and great vessels during vascular reconstructions. Featuring a 15.0 mm wide blade in selectable Small ($44) and Large ($49) profiles, its smooth, atraumatic curved tip prevents vascular wall lacerations.
Product Description
The Crawford Aortic Retractor is an essential cardiovascular surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide safe, non-traumatic displacement of the aorta, vena cava, and major peripheral vessels during vascular reconstruction. Designed with an anatomically curved blade that conforms around large arterial trunks, this instrument allows vascular teams to maintain unhindered operative access while minimizing shear forces on fragile, atherosclerotic vascular walls.
Built for micro-precision in deep thoracic and abdominal fields, this Crawford Aortic Retractor model features a uniform overall length of 19 cm paired with a 15.0 mm blade width. Surgeons can select between two dedicated blade options: a Small Blade ($44) ideal for procedures requiring high micro-precision within confined surgical fields, and a Large Blade ($49) configured to elevate broader vascular segments. The balanced ergonomic handle ensures steady, fatigue-free manual counter-traction throughout complex anastomoses.
Manufactured from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Crawford Aortic Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, providing cardiovascular, thoracic, and vascular surgery teams with high corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete clinical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Crawford Aortic Retractor?
The Crawford Aortic Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 15.0 mm wide blade, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with grip serrations for tactile stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 19 cm (approx. 7.5 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Crawford Aortic Retractor used for?
The Crawford Aortic Retractor is used in open vascular and cardiovascular surgery to gently retract and mobilize the aorta, iliac vessels, or femoral arteries away from the anastomotic zone without crushing the vessel wall.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, thoracic aorta reconstruction, aortobifemoral bypass, aortic valve replacement, and renal vascular revascularization.
What material and finish are used?
The instrument is forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
Is the Crawford Aortic Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Crawford Aortic Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each size is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both Small and Large models as open-stock inventory.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade curvatures, altered shaft 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 worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
