Description
Balfour Center Blade Only
Balfour Abdominal Retractor is a self-retaining retractor used in laparotomy procedures. It may also be used for specific abdominal procedures where the abdomen needs to be held open for examination or evaluation, such as cesarean sections and bowel resection. There are many optional and interchangeable components for this retractor. This product is for a standard, 54×80 mm solid, center blade.
The Balfour Center Blade Only from SMS Instruments is a precision-engineered surgical accessory designed to fit seamlessly into the Balfour Abdominal Retractor system. This central retractor blade plays a key role in providing vertical retraction of the bladder, bowel, or pelvic structures, ensuring optimal visibility and access during open abdominal surgeries.
Ideal for laparotomy, gynecological surgery, and pelvic procedures, the center blade is positioned between the lateral retractor arms and works in harmony to maintain a wide, unobstructed surgical field. The design provides secure midline retraction, often essential when operating in the lower abdomen or pelvic cavity.
With a standard width and smooth curvature, the SMS Balfour Center Blade offers excellent tissue control without excessive pressure, reducing the risk of soft tissue damage or ischemia during extended procedures. It can be easily interchanged with blades of various depths to suit specific surgical requirements, including compatibility with SMS 60 mm and 105 mm deep blade systems.
Manufactured from CE-certified surgical-grade stainless steel, this blade is corrosion-resistant, autoclavable, and built for repeated use in high-demand operating environments. It ensures a perfect fit and locking mechanism within all SMS Balfour Spreader frames, making it a reliable option for retractor set replacements or surgical kit upgrades.
As part of the trusted Hooks and Retractors collection from NAZMED SMS SDN BHD, the SMS Balfour Center Blade Only demonstrates the brand’s dedication to quality, surgical efficiency, and modular instrument solutions trusted by professionals globally.
