The French Pattern I.M.A Sternal Retractor is an advanced cardiac surgical system designed for internal mammary artery harvesting during CABG. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with a 100 × 20 mm broad sternal blade, dual asymmetric claw blades (28 mm or 32 mm depth), and independent tension screw locks ($429), it provides rigid unilateral sternal elevation.
Product Description
The French Pattern I.M.A Sternal Retractor is a premier cardiothoracic surgical retractor system engineered specifically to provide unilateral sternal elevation and expansive operative access during internal mammary artery (IMA / LIMA) harvesting in coronary artery bypass grafting. Designed with an asymmetric multi-blade chassis, this instrument allows surgeons to lift one sternal margin while applying stabilizing counter-traction on the opposing side, creating a clear visual corridor along the internal thoracic vascular bed.
Built to clinical framework specifications, this French Pattern I.M.A Sternal Retractor complete set ($429) features a heavy-duty main sliding track frame rail with ergonomic retracting forceps arms forged with smooth outer perimeters. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the primary broad sternal blade footprint measures 100 mm × 20 mm (20 mm wide × 100 mm long) to distribute lifting forces evenly against the sternum. The system includes dual asymmetric sternal claw blades with modular depth variations configured at 28 mm or 32 mm, each held securely by dedicated tension blade screw locks to ensure unwavering stability.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the French Pattern I.M.A Sternal Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing open-heart surgical suites, cardiac centers, and thoracic operating theaters worldwide with exceptional mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
