The Leaflet Retractor is a 22 cm cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered for delicate cardiac valve leaflet manipulation and exposure. Available in 5.0 mm and 8.0 mm blade widths with an ultra-smooth contoured paddle tip, it ensures non-traumatic tissue deflection during aortic and mitral valve repairs.
Product Description
The Leaflet Retractor is an indispensable cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide safe, non-traumatic retraction and manipulation of aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve leaflets during open heart reconstructions. Designed with an ultra-smooth distal paddle, this instrument allows cardiothoracic surgeons to inspect subvalvular apparatus, commissures, and chordae tendineae without causing leaflet contusions or tears.
Built for micro-precision within deep cardiac chambers, this Leaflet Retractor maintains a uniform longitudinal profile of 22 cm ($49) that keeps assistant hands well outside the intracardiac surgical field. Handcrafted from premium surgical-grade German stainless steel, the instrument is supplied with two distinct blade width options: a 5.0 mm wide blade for pediatric valves and narrow commissural corridors, and an 8.0 mm wide blade for adult aortic and mitral leaflet deflection. The balanced flat handle ensures fatigue-free manual leverage and high tactile sensitivity during intricate suturing.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Leaflet Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing cardiac surgical suites worldwide with exceptional corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete clinical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the Leaflet Retractor?
The product is supplied as an individual handheld cardiac surgical retractor measuring 22 cm in overall length in your chosen blade width (5.0 mm or 8.0 mm), packaged inside protective transit packaging.
What is the Leaflet Retractor used for?
The Leaflet Retractor is used in open heart surgery to gently elevate and hold valve leaflets aside, allowing clear visualization of the valve annulus, subvalvular structures, and papillary muscles.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for aortic valve replacement (AVR), mitral valve repair (MVR), tricuspid annuloplasty, Ross procedure, and congenital heart valve reconstructions.
What material and finish are used?
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.
Is the Leaflet Retractor reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Leaflet Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each blade width is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order both sizes as open-stock inventory to complete cardiac valve trays.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom paddle curvatures, altered shaft lengths, 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.
