HATE Sculpo Retractor – Breast Retractor with Light & Suction Channel

The HATE sculpo retractor is a German-made breast retractor with a long, smooth blade, an integrated channel with a stopcock and a fibre-optic light connector, and an ergonomic gold-finish handle with a finger rest. It lifts and holds tissue in deep surgical pockets while bringing light and suction directly to the working area.

What Is a Sculpo Retractor?

Sculpo retractors are long, angled retractors developed for breast surgery. In breast augmentation and reduction, the surgeon creates a deep pocket under the breast tissue or muscle through a short incision. The long blade of the sculpo retractor lifts the tissue, while the light guide brings cold light deep into the pocket and the suction channel removes smoke and fluid from electrocautery.

The ergonomic handle, with its finger rest and curved end, lets the assistant hold strong upward traction for long periods with less fatigue.

Features of the HATE Sculpo Retractor

• Long, smooth blade: deep, atraumatic lifting of tissue.
• Fibre-optic light connector: cold light deep in the surgical pocket.

• Ergonomic gold-finish handle: finger rest and curved end for strong, steady traction.
• Made in Germany: manufactured by HATE from German surgical stainless steel.
• Reusable: can be cleaned and autoclaved between procedures.

Clinical Uses of the Sculpo Retractor

The sculpo retractor is suitable for:

• Creating and inspecting the pocket in breast augmentation.
• Exposure in breast reduction and mastopexy.
• Breast reconstruction and implant exchange.
• Deep exposure in abdominoplasty and body contouring.

Why Use a Lighted Breast Retractor?

The implant pocket is deep and narrow, and the overhead lights cannot reach the bottom of it. A standard retractor holds the tissue but leaves the surgeon working in shadow, and smoke from electrocautery hides the field. A lighted breast retractor with suction solves both problems: the light goes exactly where the surgeon is working, and the smoke is removed at the source. This gives a clear view for precise dissection and careful control of bleeding.

How to Use the Sculpo Retractor

1. Connect the fibre-optic light cable and the suction tubing.
2. Insert the blade through the incision and lift the tissue to open the pocket.
3. Adjust suction with the stopcock as needed.
4. Keep traction steady and release gently at the end of the step.

Care and Sterilization

Disconnect the light cable and tubing. Rinse the retractor immediately after use and flush the channel with water.
