$109USD
The Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor is a specialized vascular spreader designed for hands-free exposure of the popliteal artery and fossa. Featuring an adjustable ratchet chassis with asymmetrical dual blade configurations (54 × 25 mm and 76 × 38 mm), it safely retracts muscular and neural margins without vessel occlusion.
Product Description
The Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor is an indispensable vascular and orthopedic surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide stable, hands-free exposure of the popliteal fossa and vascular trifurcation. Designed with asymmetrical blades that match the deep anatomical contours of the posterior knee space, this instrument displaces the gastrocnemius and hamstring muscles without compressing the popliteal vessels.
Built for complete procedural adaptability, this Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor features an adjustable self-retaining frame with customizable dual blade sets ($109). Surgeons can configure the frame with either 54 mm × 25 mm Left / 76 mm × 38 mm Right or 76 mm × 38 mm Left / 54 mm × 25 mm Right options, with standard production runs also accommodating 76 mm × 25 mm matching ratios. The integrated multi-position ratchet lock maintains targeted tissue counter-tension automatically, eliminating assistant hand fatigue during delicate vascular bypass grafting.
Forged from medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete clinical durability for vascular and trauma suites worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor?
The Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 54×25 mm Left / 76×38 mm Right ($109.00) or 76×38 mm Left / 54×25 mm Right ($109.00), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
What is the Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor used for?
The Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor is used in vascular surgery to retract the muscular and neural boundaries of the popliteal space, providing hands-free access to the popliteal artery and vein.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for femoropopliteal bypass grafting, popliteal artery aneurysm repair, popliteal entrapment syndrome release, vascular trauma repair, and posterior knee joint exposure.
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 Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Darling Popliteal Self-Retaining Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The ratchet mechanism and pivot joints should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
