The Yo-Holtgrewe malleable blade is a replacement blade specifically made to work with Balfour self-retaining retractors. It provides flexibility and personalized contouring for the best tissue retraction. It can be molded to fit the anatomy of the patient, improving exposure and reducing tissue damage, making it perfect for abdominal and pelvic surgery. For longevity, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with all common sterilizing methods, surgical-grade stainless steel was used in its construction.
