Clinical Application
Designed for precise retraction in confined or delicate operative fields, this instrument provides narrow, controlled exposure of soft tissue during neurosurgical, cranial, spinal, ENT, and select plastic surgery procedures. The 14 mm blade width is suited for small incisions and narrow corridors where minimizing tissue trauma and preserving visibility are priorities. Its 24 cm length permits access into deeper wounds while allowing the assistant or primary surgeon to maintain steady retraction without encroaching on the operative site.
Design & Configuration
The combination of a slender 14 mm blade and an elongated 24 cm shaft balances reach with control. A single-ended, hand-held configuration provides tactile feedback and fine manipulation of retraction force, important when working around delicate neural or vascular structures. The narrow blade profile reduces the footprint on surrounding tissue and facilitates targeted retraction in tight anatomical spaces.
