Product Description
The Ross Aortic Valve Retractor is an internationally acclaimed cardiovascular surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide safe, non-traumatic retraction of aortic valve leaflets and the aortic root during valve replacement and reconstructive procedures. Designed with an anatomically curved blade face, this retractor allows cardiothoracic surgeons to inspect the aortic annulus, coronary ostia, and subvalvular structures cleanly without causing contusions to fragile valvular cusps.
Built to clinical framework standards, this Ross Aortic Valve Retractor configuration features an overall tool length of 25 cm ($89) that provides deep reaching clearance into the aortic root while keeping assistant hands outside the primary field. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the handle assembly incorporates a solid ergonomic hexagonal grip handle framework that provides exceptional rotational stability and non-slip control. Surgeons can choose across six distinct anatomical blade sizes: Size #1 (⅝″ × ⅝″), Size #2 (½″ × ⅞″), Size #3 (¾″ × 1″), Size #4 (¾″ × 1 ⅛″), Size #5 (1 ⅛″ × 1 ⅛″), and Size #6 (1 ⅜″ × ⅞″).
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Ross Aortic Valve Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing cardiac surgical centers and thoracic operating suites worldwide with unyielding structural rigidity, high corrosion resistance, and complete clinical durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Ross Aortic Valve Retractor?
The Ross Aortic Valve Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Six anatomical sizes: Size #1 (⅝″×⅝″), Size #2 (½″×⅞″), Size #3 (¾″×1″), Size #4 (¾″×1 ⅛″), Size #5 (1 ⅛″×1 ⅛″), Size #6 (1 ⅜″×⅞″), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is solid ergonomic hexagonal grip handle framework designed for non-slip rotational control, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 25 cm (approx. 10.0 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 Ross Aortic Valve Retractor used for?
The Ross Aortic Valve Retractor is used in open cardiac surgery to retract aortic valve leaflets and the transected aortic root, providing an unobstructed view into the left ventricle and valve annulus.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for aortic valve replacement (AVR), aortic root replacement (Bentall procedure), Ross procedure, aortic valve repair, and aortic dissection repair.
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.
