Blade for Ricard Retractor 52x110mm

Clinical Application

This blade is an interchangeable retraction element intended for use with a Ricard retractor system. The 52 x 110 mm footprint provides broad, low‑profile exposure for soft tissue and wound edges in open procedures where wide-area retraction and visualization are needed—examples include general, abdominal, plastic, and some orthopedic cases. As a detachable blade, it enables quick intraoperative changes of blade size and orientation to optimize exposure without exchanging the entire retractor arm.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 52 x 110 mm geometry delivers a large contact surface to distribute retraction forces over a wider area, helping to minimize focal pressure on soft tissue while maintaining clear operative access. Its flat blade form is useful where shallow retraction is required and where a low-profile edge enhances line-of-sight to the surgical field. The blade is configured to mount to the Ricard retractor head, allowing secure fixation and repeatable positioning during case adjustments.
