Description

The Tebbets Breast Retractor (With Teeth) is used in plastic and breast surgery to hold tissue away from the operative field while keeping the area illuminated. It is commonly used in breast augmentation procedures, particularly when working around the implant pocket. The retractor combines fibre optic illumination with suction for smoke evacuation, which is useful when electrosurgical instruments are being used.

The blade has a slightly angled profile with teeth along the working edge. These teeth help keep the tissue from slipping while it is being held back. The four sizes available are 90 × 24 mm, 90 × 30 mm, 150 × 36 mm, and 190 × 36 mm, giving different blade areas for different operative fields.

The fibre optic system brings light toward the end of the blade and connects to an external light source. This can make a difference when the surgeon is working inside a deeper breast pocket, where overhead lighting may not reach as well. The built-in suction connection is used to clear surgical smoke from the field.

The instrument is mainly associated with breast augmentation and other plastic surgery procedures involving breast tissue retraction. It can be selected in different blade sizes depending on the area that needs to be exposed. The toothed version provides a firmer hold on tissue during the procedure.

Made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the retractor is suitable for repeated professional use and sterilization. Each instrument is checked for the blade and teeth, fibre optic connection, suction ports, handle, and overall finish before supply.

The Tebbets Breast Retractor (With Teeth) combines tissue retraction, focused fibre optic lighting, and smoke evacuation in one instrument for breast surgery.
