IMA Retractor – Titanium Internal Mammary Artery Retractor with Adjustable Blades

The Internal Mammary Artery (IMA) Retractor is a specialized surgical instrument designed to provide optimal exposure of the internal mammary artery during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures. Its primary function is to facilitate the harvesting of the IMA by gently lifting the chest wall, ensuring minimal trauma and enhanced visibility for the surgeon.

Key Features:

• Design:

  • Equipped with a ratcheting mechanism that allows for controlled, incremental lifting of the chest wall, providing precise exposure of the IMA.
  • Features adjustable blades and hooks to accommodate varying patient anatomies and surgical requirements.
  • Some models are reversible, allowing for harvesting of the IMA from either the left or right side.

• Material:

  • Constructed from high-quality materials such as titanium or stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
  • Lightweight design to reduce surgeon fatigue during prolonged procedures.

• Usage:

  • Reusable and non-sterile; requires sterilization prior to each use.
  • Compatible with various surgical setups, with some models not requiring table attachments, enhancing versatility in the operating room.
