Description: What is a Sternal Retractor? A Sternal retractor is a surgical device designed to hold the sternum apart during cardiac or thoracic surgery. Its primary function is to provide unobstructed access to the heart, lungs, and major vessels while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. Unlike simple retractors, Sternal retractors are robust and adjustable, allowing surgeons to maintain optimal exposure for extended procedures.
