Designed to be used with Balfour or similar self-retaining retractor systems, the Horgan blade is a small center blade that is 2" wide by 5" long. It is shaped to provide the best retraction of deep abdominal or pelvic tissues. Because of its smooth, curved contour, it minimizes trauma while allowing for delicate yet effective exposure. For strength, resistance to corrosion, and ease of sterilizing, surgical-grade stainless steel was used in its construction.
