Blade for Ricard/Franz Retractor 45x80mm pair

Clinical Application

These blades are intended to be mounted on Ricard/Franz retractor frames to provide stable, focused retraction of soft tissue and wound edges. The 45 x 80 mm blade size offers a moderate contact footprint suitable for procedures requiring controlled exposure in limited spaces, such as reconstructive and plastic surgery, ENT, small-orthopedic procedures, and general surgical cases involving small to medium incisions. A matched pair allows symmetric retraction for improved bilateral visualization during dissection, flap work, and wound closure.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 45 x 80 mm configuration provides a broad contact area to distribute retraction forces and reduce focal pressure on tissues while maintaining adequate exposure. Supplied as a pair, the blades facilitate balanced, bilateral retraction and can be positioned to create a stable operative field. The geometry is optimized to fit within small to moderate incision sites and to work with the Ricard/Franz mounting interface so the blades remain stable during tissue manipulation.
