Narrow 6-Inch Mammaplasty Retractor

This Biggs pattern is identified as a narrow mammaplasty retractor measuring 6 inches (152 mm) in length and 3 cm in width. These confirmed dimensions provide useful reference points when surgeons or procurement teams are comparing breast retractors for an existing plastic surgery instrument set.

The narrow configuration may be selected when the operating team requires focused retraction within the breast surgical field. Final instrument selection should depend on the procedure, surgical approach, tissue depth, and surgeon preference.

Designed Without a Suction Tube

This model is specifically supplied without an integrated suction tube. This distinction is important when comparing Biggs mammaplasty retractors, as some retractor configurations may incorporate suction while this product is intended to function solely as a handheld retraction instrument.

Buyers assembling a breast surgery set should confirm whether a non-suction retractor or a suction-enabled configuration is required before placing an order.

Breast and Plastic Surgery Retraction

The product is classified within the plastic surgical instrument range and is identified as a mammaplasty retractor. It is intended to assist with controlled tissue retraction and surgical exposure during breast procedures where the Biggs pattern is preferred.

The retractor itself does not determine the surgical technique. Positioning, retraction direction, and applied force should always be controlled by the operating team according to the anatomy and specific procedure.

German Stainless Steel Construction

The current description states that the Biggs Mammaplasty Retractor is made from German stainless steel, while the specification section identifies the material as medical stainless steel. Both references indicate stainless-steel instrument construction suitable for a reusable surgical retractor.

The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Procurement teams requiring a specific alloy designation or material certificate should confirm that specification before ordering.

Reusable Surgical Instrument

The product is explicitly identified as reusable. Reusable retractors should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the healthcare facility's validated reprocessing procedure and applicable manufacturer instructions.

Before reuse, the instrument should be inspected for retained contamination, deformation, corrosion, surface damage, or other changes that could affect its function during surgery.

Selectable Finish and Size Context

The live specification section references satin, dull, and mirror finishes, while a Size selector is also present on the product page. Buyers should confirm the selected configuration before purchase when a particular finish or size is required for an existing surgical tray.

The confirmed dimensional description for the narrow model is 6 inches (152 mm) long and 3 cm wide.
