Best Answer

A "bladder blade" is a surgical instrument used during a Caesarean birth. It is a type of retractor, an instrument used to keep other body parts out of the way of the surgery. The bladder blade is pulled "down" (toward the patient's feet) to keep the bladder, and part of the body wall, out of the way. If you are in the OR and you happen to look around the curtain, the bladder blade will be one of the two railroad-spike-ish implements stretching open the incision.
