Rosh Tech Cushing Valve Retractor

The Rosh Tech Cushing Valve Retractor is a delicate, hand-held surgical instrument primarily used in neurosurgery for the gentle retraction of fine tissues and blood vessels to expose the surgical field. It is particularly useful in procedures involving delicate structures where minimal trauma is crucial. While its name includes “valve,” in the context of Cushing’s contributions to neurosurgery, it refers to its use in manipulating structures to gain access, rather than cardiac valves.

Key Features:

• Delicate Design: Features a thin, often slightly curved or angled blade with smooth edges to minimize tissue damage.
• Ergonomic Handle: Designed for a comfortable and precise grip, allowing for fine manipulation.
• High-Quality Material: Typically made from premium German stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilization.
• Hand-Held: Allows for manual control and precise retraction by the surgeon or assistant.
