Blade for Kirschner and Franz Retractor 78x65mm

Clinical Application

This replacement blade is designed to mount to Kirschner and Franz style retractors to provide broad, low-profile retraction for soft tissue and wound edge exposure. Its 78x65 mm footprint makes it suitable for small-to-moderate incisions encountered in general surgery, orthopedics, hand and plastic procedures, and other operative fields where controlled, atraumatic retraction is required. The blade offers a stable working corridor to facilitate visualization, instrumentation and suction during dissection, implant placement or wound closure.

Design & Configuration

The blade's rectangular footprint delivers a balance of surface area and low profile to distribute retraction force evenly while minimizing tissue compression. As a dedicated replacement insert, it is configured to index into Kirschner and Franz retractor frames for secure attachment and repeatable positioning. The flat, smooth contact surface helps reduce tissue slippage and allows unobstructed access for instruments along the wound edge.
