Kolbel Soft Tissue Retractor

The Kolbel Soft Tissue Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Anatomically curved blade designed to navigate confined articular recesses, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 8 inches (20.32 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium surgical-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Kolbel Soft Tissue Retractor is used in shoulder surgery to retract the deltoid, pectoralis major, and capsular flaps, exposing the humeral head and glenohumeral joint without crushing tissue.

It is indicated for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA), Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (rTSA), rotator cuff reconstruction, shoulder hemiarthroplasty, and anterior instability repairs.

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
