Carroll Blade Description:

Overview

The Carroll Blade is a surgical retractor blade used to gently hold tissue aside during surgery. It helps doctors see the surgical area clearly without needing someone to hold the tissue by hand. The blade is commonly used with Bookwalter retractor systems in open surgical procedures.

Key Features

• Clear Surgical View: Keeps tissue pulled back so surgeons can work safely.

• Works with Bookwalter Systems: Designed to fit securely with self-retaining retractors.

• Strong Stainless Steel: Built to last and safe for repeated sterilization.

• Hands-Free Retraction: Reduces the need for manual holding during surgery.

• Smooth Design: Helps protect surrounding tissue while maintaining exposure.

How It Is Used

The Carroll Blade is attached to a self-retaining retractor system to hold tissue in place during surgery. It stays stable throughout the procedure, allowing the surgeon to focus on the operation.
