The Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor is a self-retaining spring-wire cardiovascular instrument designed to expose target coronary arteries during bypass surgery. Handcrafted from German stainless steel in Extra Small ($44), Small ($49), Medium ($54), and Large ($59) sizes, it provides gentle, hands-free epicardial fat and myocardium displacement.

Product Description

The Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor is a specialized cardiovascular surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide gentle, hands-free displacement of epicardial fat and myocardial tissue overlying coronary vessels. Designed with a flexible, spring-loaded wire framework, this instrument isolates target coronary arteries cleanly, establishing a stable, bloodless operative corridor during delicate arteriotomies and microvascular anastomoses.

Built to accommodate varied patient anatomical boundaries, this Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor line keeps a uniform spring design while offering four selectable sizes: Extra Small at 2.5 cm ($44) for fine distal vessels, Small at 3.0 cm ($49), Medium at 3.8 cm ($54) for standard coronary exposures, and Large at 4.8 cm ($59) for deep intramyocardial vessels. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, its contoured, polished wire prongs embed securely into the epicardium without puncturing myocardium or compressing coronary lumina.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, delivering high elastic memory, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability for cardiac surgical suites and congenital heart institutes worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor?

The Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) with high spring memory for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor used for?

The Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor is used in open cardiac surgery to retract epicardial fat and muscle away from coronary arteries, stabilizing the vessel for microvascular anastomosis.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), on-pump CABG, redo coronary surgery, and coronary endarterectomy.

What material and finish are used?

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

Is the Parsonnet Epicardial Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Parsonnet Epicardial 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 an integrated one-piece spring instrument, each size is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order multi-size sets to stock cardiac trays.

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom wire prong curvatures, modified spring tensions, 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.
