Mathieu Retractor

The Mathieu Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 42 mm × 13 mm / 42 mm × 26 mm ($44.00) or 47 mm × 13 mm / 46 mm × 26 mm ($54.00) (End 1 W×L / End 2 W×L), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat central ergonomic handle designed for steady manual grip, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 20 cm (8 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Mathieu Retractor is used in open surgery to hold open skin edges, subcutaneous tissue, and muscular layers, providing clear visualization of underlying anatomy across varying incision depths.

It is indicated for appendectomy, hernia repair, thyroidectomy, plastic flap elevation, orthopedic joint exposure, and superficial wound closure.

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.
