A 20mm Ross Aortic Retractor is a surgical instrument used in the Ross procedure to expose the aortic root, which is a part of the heart. The retractor, with its crest-shaped blade, helps to hold the aortic valve and root open, providing the surgeon with adequate exposure for manipulating the aortic cusps and performing the valve replacement with the patient's own pulmonary valve (autograft).

Exposing the Aortic Root:
The primary use of the retractor is to provide clear visualization of the aortic root and valve, which is essential for the complex steps of the Ross procedure.

Providing Working Space:
The retractor holds the aortic root open, creating a stable and adequate surgical field for the surgeon to work in.

Atraumatic Blade Design:
The retractor's crest-shaped, concave blade is designed with a blunt, atraumatic surface to prevent injury to the delicate tissues of the aorta and minimize bleeding.

Self-Retaining Stability:
Many self-retaining retractors are used in this surgery, which means they maintain their position throughout the procedure, reducing the need for constant adjustments by the surgeon.
