hoja del retractor de tracción inversa.


Explanation:
I considered "hoja retráctil" and then realised that the retractor has a blade and not that the blade was retractable.

A retractor is an instrument designed for pulling aside tissues to improve exposure at operation and this counter traction retractor would seem to have a component identified here as the blade.

I have searched and found little in the way of a reverse traction whachammacallit. Nevertheless, one must start somewhere and unless this rendition clashes noticeably with your text, I suggest:

"hoja del retractor de tracción inversa".

Try it out, drive it around the block and kick the tyres... see if it fits.
