Mayo-Collin x = 25 mm x 18 mm, y= 28 mm x 18 mm Wound Retractors

Mayo-Collin x = 25 mm x 18 mm, y= 28 mm x 18 mm Wound Retractors (Ref RT 11-575-02), supplied from Fizza Surgical’s instrument range under ISO 13485:2016 quality management.

Collin retractors are a family of self-retaining frame retractors used across abdominal, pelvic, and orthopaedic surgery. The Collin pattern shares a heavy frame design with adjustable lateral blades that maintain wound exposure without requiring an assistant to hold the retractor. The Collin abdominal retractor is the most common variant — used during laparotomy for deep cavity exposure when the larger Balfour or Bookwalter frames are not needed. Lengths and blade depths vary by application. Modern Collin instruments are made from medical-grade stainless steel for autoclave durability and corrosion resistance across decades of operating-theatre use.

Manufacturing compliance is verified through ISO 13485:2016 certification (the international medical-device quality standard), CE marking under EU MDR 2017/745, and FDA establishment registration. Certificate copies and regulatory documentation are available on request for inclusion in hospital procurement files and EU technical documentation packages. Sterilization validation follows ISO 17665 for steam autoclave at 134 °C.
