Saldanha-Solz Abdominal Retractor

The Saldanha-Solz Abdominal Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Single-ended, tissue-optimized retractor blade contoured to support vascularized flaps, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is heavy-duty ergonomic handle designed for sustained leverage counter-traction, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 23.5 cm (approx. 9.25 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.

The Saldanha-Solz Abdominal Retractor is used in aesthetic plastic surgery to elevate the abdominal skin flap, exposing the rectus abdominis fascia for plication and fat harvesting during lipo-abdominoplasty.

It is indicated for Saldanha lipo-abdominoplasty, high-definition abdominoplasty, panniculectomy, reverse abdominoplasty, and deep abdominal wall reconstructive surgery.

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.
