Strandell Stille Retractor

The Strandell Stille Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 6 mm wide × 15 mm long, 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 17 cm (approx. 6.7 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Strandell Stille Retractor is used in open surgery to retract wound edges, skin flaps, and superficial muscle layers, utilizing a toothed blade margin to prevent slippage.

It is indicated for carpal tunnel release, trigger finger repair, digital tendon surgery, facial scar revision, blepharoplasty, and minor hernia repair.

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.
