Offered here is a vintage stainless steel surgical retractor marked Stille (Sweden), measuring approximately 7 inches long with a 1.25 inch blade. This L-shaped rectal retractor dates to the mid-20th century and was manufactured by Stille, one of the oldest and most respected makers of precision surgical instruments.

Condition: Surface wear and some spotting consistent with age and use. Overall solid, with a clear maker’s stamp.

This is an authentic example of a professional medical instrument and is sold strictly as a collectible, for display or historical/teaching purposes only – not for medical use. A fine addition to any collection of vintage surgical or medical tools. I have been using it as a bookend, but my focus has shifted away from antique medical books.

Please be sure to check out all the photos and to ask any questions. I always ship securely and quickly in a box. I always charge exact shipping and will refund all shipping charges above exact amount for buyers who buy multiple items.
