Clinical Application
A Brunner-style hand retractor with a straight tip and a 140 x 30 mm blade is used for atraumatic exposure of wound edges and retraction of soft tissues in procedures requiring moderate depth and reach. The 25 cm overall length provides access into deeper cavities and along long incisions, making this instrument suitable for general surgery, vascular exposure, small orthopedic exposures, and soft-tissue dissections where a broad, flat surface is preferred to distribute pressure and minimize focal tissue trauma.
Design & Configuration
The straight blade geometry delivers uniform retraction and direct visualization along the axis of the wound. A relatively broad 140 x 30 mm blade increases contact area, reducing point pressure on soft tissue and helping preserve perfusion at the wound edge. The 25 cm shaft length balances reach with manual control, allowing the assistant or surgeon to hold stable retraction without excessive leverage. A polished finish and radiused edges (common to this pattern) reduce tissue adherence and blunt-edge trauma during placement and repositioning.
