Clinical Application
Designed to provide broad, atraumatic retraction of soft tissue and fascial planes, this oval retractor blade is used to maintain exposure in procedures where a wide contact surface reduces point pressure on fragile tissues. Typical applications include small to medium open procedures in general surgery, orthopedics, and soft‑tissue dissections where a detachable blade allows rapid intraoperative configuration of a Kirschner‑style retractor system.
Design & Configuration
The oval profile distributes load across a larger surface area than narrow blades, minimizing localized pressure and tissue indentation while preserving exposure. The detachable configuration permits quick assembly and exchange on Kirschner‑style frames to adapt blade size and orientation to the surgical field. Rounded edges on the contact surface (standard for oval retractor blades) reduce mucosal or dermal trauma during retraction, and the flat mating shank enables secure seating in common retractor forks or mounts.
Instrument Specifications
- Blade size: 50x65 mm contact surface
- Profile: Oval contact surface for broad retraction
- Compatibility: Detachable blade for Kirschner‑style retractor frames
- Intended use: Soft‑tissue retraction to expose operative field
- Construction: Reusable, surgical‑grade stainless steel
Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical‑grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization. Precision machining and attention to edge radiusing on the contact surface preserve atraumatic handling while providing a stable retraction platform. The detachable interface is machined to provide consistent seating and lateral stability when mounted to Kirschner‑style retractor frames.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
