Clinical Application
Designed to provide targeted retraction in superficial and confined surgical fields, this Crawford retractor is suited for exposing small incisions and delicate soft tissues. The narrow 15 x 23 mm blade offers a limited footprint for precise tissue retraction and atraumatic exposure, helping maintain visualization during dissection, vessel isolation, suturing, and wound closure in specialties such as general, plastic/reconstructive, vascular, and minor procedures.
Design & Configuration
The compact paddle-style blade concentrates retraction force over a small area to allow focused separation of tissue without excessive bulk. A 19 cm overall length provides added reach into deeper or narrow wounds while remaining fully hand‑held for fine positional control by the surgeon or assistant. This geometry facilitates controlled retraction in tight planes and reduces the need to widen incisions for access.
