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.

The FARABEUF 230mm 23cm (Ref BS 14-970-01) is part of the Fizza Surgical instrument catalogue, manufactured under ISO 13485:2016.

OEM private-label production is available from 300 units per SKU, with custom laser etching for distributor codes, hospital procurement IDs, and sterilization-cycle tracking marks.

Bulk-order pricing tiers are available on request for hospital group purchasing organizations and national procurement entities.
