Product Description

The Bookwalter Malleable Blade is a replacement Bookwalter retractor blade designed for use with standard Bookwalter ratchets. Its malleable construction allows the blade to be manually shaped to the desired contour for retraction of delicate visceral organs, deep pelvic tissue, and abdominal margins during open surgical procedures.

The flat, bendable working body holds hand-formed contours without springing back or flexing under load. The standard notched handle shank seats into slide-on, tilt and self-retaining Bookwalter ratchets.
