The Oldberg retractor is a 21 cm neurosurgical and spinal instrument designed for soft-tissue and wound margin retraction. Handcrafted from German stainless steel across three blade footprints (13.0 mm 3-prong rake, 15.0 mm 4-prong rake, and 19.0 mm smooth plain blade), it provides non-traumatic operative field exposure.

Product Description

The Oldberg retractor is a specialized handheld surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide reliable, non-traumatic soft-tissue displacement and wound margin exposure during cranial, spinal, and deep orthopedic procedures. Designed with an elongated slender shank, this retractor allows surgical assistants to maintain steady manual counter-traction without obstructing the surgeon's direct visual corridor or crowding surgical loupes and operating microscopes.

Built to accommodate varying surgical fields, this Oldberg retractor maintains a uniform longitudinal profile of 21 cm ($49). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the instrument offers three unique blade footprint widths selectable from the option parameters: a 13.0 mm wide blade featuring a 3-prong rake profile for focused fascial purchase, a 15.0 mm wide blade featuring a 4-prong rake profile for intermediate wound margin displacement, and an expansive 19.0 mm wide blade featuring a smooth, plain blade profile for broad, atraumatic soft-tissue holding. Its ergonomic flat handle delivers fatigue-free manual leverage.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Oldberg retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete autoclave durability for neurosurgical and spine centers worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Oldberg retractor?

The Oldberg retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 13.0 mm (3-prong rake), 15.0 mm (4-prong rake), 19.0 mm (smooth plain blade), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is flat ergonomic handle with lateral serrations for tactile grip stability, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 21 cm (approx. 8.25 inches) 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.

What is the Oldberg retractor used for?

The Oldberg retractor is used in cranial and spinal surgery to retract scalp flaps, paraspinal muscles, and deep fascia, maintaining a clean visual field for bone work and decompressions.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for craniotomy, laminectomy, discectomy, posterior cervical decompression, and deep orthopedic trauma surgery.

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 Oldberg retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Oldberg 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 style is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order all three styles as open-stock inventory.

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, modified rake 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.
