Center Blade Ricard Abdominal Retractor 80x90mm

Clinical Application

Designed for open abdominal and pelvic procedures, this center-blade retractor provides focused midline retraction to expose viscera, fascial planes, and deep operative fields. It is commonly used in general, colorectal, gynecologic and urologic surgeries to maintain atraumatic exposure of the wound while allowing the assistant or scrub tech to control retraction. The central blade geometry helps elevate central tissues without relying on multiple lateral blades, improving visibility for dissection, anastomosis, and hemostasis.

Design & Configuration

The center-blade configuration concentrates the contact surface centrally, which helps distribute retraction force across a broad area and reduces point pressure on wound edges. The 80x90mm blade dimension provides a balance between surface area for tissue support and a compact profile for working room at the incision. The instrument is intended for manual retraction and can be used in combination with other handheld or table-mounted retractors depending on the procedure.
