The Feler-Ducker Retractor is a specialized 15.3 cm self-retaining spinal retractor engineered for targeted paraspinal muscle displacement during posterior laminectomy. Featuring an asymmetrical dual-blade system (54 × 25 mm and 76 × 38 mm), it maintains unyielding, hands-free exposure across uneven laminar planes.

Product Description

The Feler-Ducker Retractor is a specialized neurosurgical and spinal retractor engineered specifically to provide stable, hands-free operative access during posterior spinal decompressions, laminectomies, and spinal cord stimulator lead placements. Designed with asymmetrical blades that match uneven paraspinal tissue contours, this instrument holds dense muscle aside without creating excessive localized tissue pressure.

Built for precise anatomical clearance, this Feler-Ducker Retractor configuration features a uniform overall instrument length of 15.3 cm ($109). Surgeons can choose between two asymmetrical left/right combination packages: 54 mm × 25 mm Left combined with 76 mm × 38 mm Right, or 76 mm × 38 mm Left combined with 54 mm × 25 mm Right, with standard production runs also referencing isolated 50 mm × 10 mm and 70 mm × 10 mm formats. The built-in mechanical ratchet maintains continuous counter-traction, eliminating manual assistant fatigue.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Feler-Ducker Retractor to strict clinical tolerances, delivering high corrosion resistance, smooth ratchet action, and complete autoclave durability for hospital spine operating theaters worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Feler-Ducker Retractor?

The Feler-Ducker 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. An overall length of 15.3 cm (approx. 6.0 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 Feler-Ducker Retractor used for?

The Feler-Ducker Retractor is used in spine surgery to hold open paraspinal musculature and fascial tissue, establishing an unobstructed, hands-free view of the lamina and spinous processes.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for lumbar laminectomy, spinal cord stimulator paddle lead placement, hemilaminectomy, discectomy, and targeted spinal canal decompression.

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 and microscopes.

Is the Feler-Ducker Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Feler-Ducker Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). Ratchet teeth and hinge joints should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Yes. Individual replacement blades (54 × 25 mm, 76 × 38 mm, 50 × 10 mm, 70 × 10 mm) and frames can be ordered separately as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade depths, modified frame spreads, 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.
