Pediatric and Child Curved Sternal Retractors

Engineered for Smaller Patients. Designed Around Surgical Needs.

Pediatric and Child Curved Sternal Retractors for Congenital Cardiac Surgery

From preterm infants to older children, Genesee BioMedical’s curved pediatric and child retractor systems deliver stable exposure without compromising delicate anatomy. Each system is available in two size ranges and includes modular components, pivoting blades, and rake-compatible options to adapt to a wide variety of congenital and pediatric valve repair procedures. The curved racks distribute pressure evenly across the sternum, while pivoting blades auto-align to the chest wall for gentle retraction. Multiple blade sizes allow surgeons to accommodate patient variation, and the compact footprint minimizes trauma in smaller patients. Systems are available with or without atrial rake assemblies, and all modular components are fully reusable and compatible with standard sterilization trays.
