Blade for Ricard Retractor 72x85mm

Clinical Application

This replacement blade is designed for use with a Ricard retractor system to provide stable, broad-area retraction of soft tissue and maintain exposure of the operative field. The 72x85 mm contact area is intended to distribute pressure over a larger surface, reducing focal pressure points while supporting adjacent tissue during dissection, hemostasis, or implant placement. It is suitable for use in any open procedure where a Ricard retractor is indicated and a wider blade profile is required for visualization and access.

Design & Configuration

The blade’s flat, wide geometry delivers even tissue support and predictable displacement of soft tissue when mounted on the retractor frame. The 72x85 mm footprint increases visualization of deeper or wider operative sites compared with smaller blades and helps minimize the need for frequent repositioning. A straightforward attachment interface allows rapid exchange on compatible Ricard retractor handles or frames to adapt to intraoperative exposure needs.
