Murphy Ball Retractor

The Murphy Ball Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 60-degree angled hook design, 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 35 cm (approx. 13.8 inches) extended reach keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Murphy Ball Retractor is used in deep open surgery to gently hook and explore tissues, isolating nerve trunks, common bile ducts, and blood vessels without puncture risk.

It is indicated for cholecystectomy (common bile duct exploration), spinal nerve root neurolysis, deep pelvic dissections, vascular bypass, and thoracic tumor exploration.

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.
