Hess nerve root retractor

The Hess Nerve Root Retractor is used by neurosurgeons to mobilize and protect critical structures like nerves in spinal surgery. Its overall size is 17.5 cm and features a large hollow handle with an anteroinferior finger rest which provides a better feel and control to the operator. The shaft is short and angles forwards at a 90 degree angle to form the long robust blade. The edge of the blade is curved downwards to form a lip, and this is designed to protect the underlying structures from inadvertent injury. The featured blade is 3 mm wide, and blades that are 5 mm and 7 mm wide are also available to accommodate different anatomical requirements. We manufacture Hess Nerve Root Retractors from premium grade surgical stainless steel that can be readily sterilized for re-use and ensure reliable function.
