Specialized Thoracic and Rib Retractor for Gentle Sternal and Rib Spreading in Cardiac, Thoracic and Spine Surgery
The CORYLLOS RETRACTOR 82 mm x 22 mm / 24.0 cm is a Class I medical device manufactured according to ISO 13485:2016. This special, wide and robustly built retractor is designed for the gentle yet powerful retraction of ribs or the sternum to provide optimal access to the mediastinum, lungs, or ventral spine. Its unique design minimizes the risk of rib fractures and tissue trauma.
Product Highlights:
✔ Manufactured in accordance with ISO 13485:2016
✔ CE Marked – Class I (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 – MDR)
✔ Special Coryllos shape with wide, deep and anatomically shaped blade (82 mm x 22 mm)
✔ Optimal length of 24.0 cm for ergonomic access to thoracic and sternal approaches
✔ High-quality, extra-stable surgical stainless steel – for withstanding high mechanical forces
✔ Anatomically shaped, rounded blade contours for maximum contact and minimal pressure on the ribs
✔ Reinforced blade edge to prevent bending under load
✔ Large, closed finger ring for powerful and secure two-handed grip
✔ Matte finish for glare-free work in depth
✔ Sterilizable and reusable
Benefits of the Coryllos Retractor:
• Optimal Rib and Sternal Retraction: The wide, deep blade securely engages under the rib or sternum and distributes the spreading force evenly to minimize the risk of bone fractures or cartilage damage.
• Maximum Thoracic Exposure: Provides excellent visibility and access to the surgical field during thoracotomies, sternotomies, or thoracolumbar approaches to the spine.
• Gentle Tissue Handling: The anatomically adapted blade edges spare the periosteal and intercostal tissue as well as the neurovascular bundles.
• Stable and Controlled Retraction: The robust construction allows for gradual and controlled spreading, which is easily adjustable by the surgeon.
• Specialized Instrument for Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery: An indispensable standard instrument for cardiac surgical procedures, lung resections, and specific orthopedic spinal approaches.
Technical Specifications:
• Type: Coryllos Retractor / Thoracic Rib Retractor

• Overall Length: 24.0 cm
• Blade Shape: Wide, deep and slightly concave shaped with rounded, thickened edges
• Material: Extra-stable Surgical Stainless Steel 1.4301 or 1.4441

• Packaging: Individually packed in sterilizable peel pouch
• Risk Class: I according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR)
Areas of Application:
• Cardiac Surgery (e.g., bypass surgery, valve replacement via median sternotomy)
• Thoracic Surgery (e.g., lobectomies, pneumonectomies via lateral thoracotomy)
• Orthopedic Spine Surgery (ventral thoracolumbar approaches)
• Trauma surgical management of thoracic injuries
Important Safety and Handling Information:
• FOR USE BY EXPERIENCED CARDIAC, THORACIC OR SPINE SURGEONS ONLY.
• Gradual and Controlled Application: Retraction should be performed slowly and gradually to avoid overstretching of the ribs or sternal fracture.
• Anatomically Correct Placement: The blade must be correctly placed under the rib or sternum to prevent slipping and injury to underlying pleural or mediastinal structures.
• Dosing of Force: The applied force should always be adapted to the tissue resistance. Particular caution is required in cases of increased resistance (e.g., osteoporotic bone).
• Inspection for Structural Integrity: Before each use, the instrument must be inspected for cracks, bends, or material fatigue, especially at the blade junction.
• Thorough Cleaning: After thoracic procedures, intensive cleaning of the blade is required.
