Catalogue reference RT 11-590-01-01 — Farabeuf Double-Ended Retractor — 12 cm Variant (12.0 cm), supplied to hospitals, distributors, and OEM partners.
Louis Hubert Farabeuf, a nineteenth-century French anatomist and surgeon, lent his name to the simple double-ended hand retractor that remains a workhorse of general and orthopaedic surgery. Farabeuf retractors are sold in pairs — a left and right with identical curved blades on each end of a flat handle. Sizes are described by blade length: 12 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm. An assistant holds the retractor to expose superficial tissues during wound exploration, hernia repair, vascular access, and orthopaedic open reduction. The Farabeuf’s elegance is its simplicity: no ratchets, no springs, no moving parts to fail. Just two ergonomic blades on a sturdy stainless handle that outlasts most other instruments in the tray.
