The Harrington Splanchnic Retractor (Sweetheart Retractor) is a heavy-duty deep abdominal instrument designed to retract liver, spleen, and viscera. Available in lengths of 30.5 cm ($69) and 31.8 cm ($74) with heart-shaped blades up to 190 mm × 63 mm, it distributes counter-traction evenly to prevent parenchymal organ trauma.

Product Description

The Harrington Splanchnic Retractor is a premier visceral surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide broad, atraumatic displacement of parenchymal abdominal organs and deep pelvic structures during exploratory laparotomy and oncologic surgery. Designed with an iconic sweetheart heart-shaped distal paddle, this instrument distributes manual counter-traction evenly across a broad surface area, protecting fragile visceral structures such as the liver, spleen, and intestinal loops from localized pressure trauma.

Built for variable operative depths, this Harrington Splanchnic Retractor series is available in two overall lengths: 30.5 cm ($69) and 31.8 cm ($74). Surgeons can customize the blade footprint across three distinct dimensions: 127 mm long × 38 mm wide for narrow fields, 127 mm long × 63 mm wide for standard laparotomies, and an extra-deep 190 mm long × 63 mm wide profile for bariatric or retroperitoneal procedures. Its ergonomic handle provides surgical assistants with steady, non-slip manual leverage.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Harrington Splanchnic Retractor to withstand heavy mechanical loads and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance, structural rigidity, and complete clinical durability for general and gynecological surgery suites worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Harrington Splanchnic Retractor?

The Harrington Splanchnic Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 127 × 38 mm, 127 × 63 mm, 190 × 63 mm, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with finger rings/contours designed for heavy manual leverage, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 30.5 cm ($69.00) and 31.8 cm ($74.00) 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 Harrington Splanchnic Retractor used for?

The Harrington Splanchnic Retractor is used in open abdominal surgery to gently retract the liver lobes, spleen, intestines, and pelvic viscera, providing a wide visual corridor to deep surgical targets.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for cholecystectomy, open splenectomy, colectomy, gastrectomy, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, total abdominal hysterectomy, and pelvic exenteration.

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 Harrington Splanchnic Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Harrington Splanchnic Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade dimensions, altered paddle curvatures, 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.
