Anderson Adson Retractor 4x4pr. sharp 19.5cm

Clinical Application

Small, handheld retraction for precise exposure of skin, subcutaneous tissue and superficial fascial planes. The 4x4 sharp prong configuration provides secure bite and stable retraction in confined operative fields, making it suitable for procedures that require focal exposure—such as plastic and reconstructive cases, ENT, ophthalmic-adjacent work, and other small-incision general surgical procedures. The sharp prongs offer reliable tissue purchase for controlled retraction but should be used with caution on friable tissues to avoid tearing.

Design & Configuration

The compact 19.5 cm shaft length balances reach with control for single-handed retraction at shallow to moderate depths. The 4x4 sharp prong arrangement yields a symmetric grip across the retracted tissue, minimizing slippage during manipulation. Because the prongs are sharp, they provide a positive hold on denser soft tissue and dermal edges; this geometry is intended to reduce the need for repeated repositioning and to maintain a consistent operative corridor for microsurgical work or when working through limited exposures.
