Hibbs Retractor

The Hibbs Retractor delivers firm, controlled exposure of deep soft tissue in spine and orthopaedic surgery. Its name honours Dr. Russel A. Hibbs (1885–1964), the American orthopaedic surgeon whose innovations transformed spinal surgery and rehabilitation, and the pattern remains a fixture on laminectomy and fusion trays today.

The instrument is dual-ended: one blade carries two teeth for a secure purchase on retracted tissue, while the opposite end presents a rounded blunt blade for gentler exposure where tissue trauma must be kept to a minimum. A curved, ergonomic handle gives the assistant a stable, comfortable hold through long procedures, and the satin-finished stainless steel body stands up to repeated autoclaving.
