Fritsch Retractor 40x40mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

This instrument provides focused retraction for controlled exposure of soft tissue and superficial operative fields. The 40 x 40 mm retraction surface is sized for localized retraction in procedures where a compact, well-defined exposure is required—common uses include minor general surgery, ENT, plastic and reconstructive cases, and other procedures that benefit from precise tissue control without a large footprint. The 24 cm shaft length offers reach to deeper superficial cavities while allowing the operator to maintain direct control over blade orientation and pressure.

Design & Configuration

The square 40 x 40 mm retraction surface concentrates retraction over a defined area, enabling targeted exposure of incision edges or small operative sites. The extended 24 cm shaft separates the surgeon’s hand from the field, improving ergonomics and line-of-sight. This configuration is beneficial when working in confined or shallow cavities where broader retractors are impractical; it also facilitates cooperative use with suction, electrocautery, or endoscopic instruments.
