The Valve XS Retractor System is a modern minimally invasive cardiac retractor designed for lateral minithoracotomy approaches, MICS CABG, and atrium lift setups. Engineered with a double-joint frame, Type B clamp, ball-snap blades, and interchangeable blades up to 70 mm, it provides unmatched deep-cavity exposure.
Product Description
The Valve XS Retractor System is an advanced thoracic and cardiac retraction platform engineered specifically for minimally invasive valve procedures performed through a small lateral minithoracotomy. By utilizing a double-jointed articulated spreader frame, this system creates an expansive operative corridor while minimizing intercostal rib spread and preventing rib fractures.
Designed for precision coronary and valve interventions, the Valve XS Retractor System includes a double-joint lateral approach retractor frame, a Type B connecting clamp, a 9-inch (230 mm) retraction rod, a dedicated MICS CABG retractor, and a specialized atrium lift applying instrument. The blade set features a 53 × 36 mm ball-snap blade, a malleable lateral rib accessory (60 × 35 mm), and five progressive blades ranging from 30 × 35 mm to 70 × 35 mm to match patient-specific thoracic depths.
Manufactured entirely from non-magnetic, medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a fine satin finish, Retractor Maker supplies the Valve XS Retractor System non-sterile and fully autoclavable inside a custom heavy-duty aluminum sterilization container, ensuring rapid tray turnover and long-term durability.

The complete 13-piece set includes 1 double-joint lateral approach retractor frame, 1 Type B connecting clamp, 1 nine-inch retraction rod, 1 MICS CABG retractor, 1 atrium lift blade applying tool, 1 malleable rib accessory (60 × 35 mm), 1 ball-snap blade (53 × 36 mm), 5 interchangeable blades (30 mm to 70 mm depths), and an aluminum sterilization container.
What is the Valve XS Retractor System used for?
The Valve XS Retractor System is used during minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) to spread ribs atraumatically and lift the atrium through a small right anterior or lateral minithoracotomy, providing direct access to the cardiac valves without a median sternotomy.
Which surgical procedures is it for?
It is indicated for minimally invasive mitral valve repair/replacement (MIMVS), minimally invasive tricuspid repair, MICS CABG, ASD closure, and atrial myxoma resection.
What material and finish are used?
Components are fabricated from surgical-grade stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish to suppress glare under high-magnification surgical loupes and endoscopes.
Is the Valve XS Retractor System reusable and autoclavable?
Yes. The entire Valve XS Retractor System is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The double-joint frame and clamps should be opened before cleaning and sterilization.
Can components and blades be ordered separately?
Yes. Individual ball-snap blades, specific blade sizes (30 mm to 70 mm), Type B clamps, and applying instruments can be purchased separately as open-stock inventory.
Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?
Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade widths, specialized curved malleable attachments, 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 global express shipping. Back-order systems require 17 to 20 business days for manufacturing and 9 business days for delivery.
