Henley Retractor Blade 16x19mm

Clinical Application

This small-profile retractor blade is intended to provide controlled, atraumatic soft-tissue retraction in confined or shallow operative fields. Its compact 16 x 19 mm footprint makes it useful for precise exposure of wound edges, mucosal surfaces, subcutaneous pockets and small incision sites where larger blades would obscure the field or increase tissue tension. The blade can be used as a handheld retractor or mounted to compatible Henley-style retractor handles or frames for hands-free exposure during minor general, plastic, ENT and other procedures requiring fine control of tissue presentation.

Design & Configuration

The low-profile, flat rectangular geometry concentrates retraction over a small area to maximize visualization while minimizing compression and trauma to adjacent tissues. The modest footprint balances exposure with tissue protection, allowing the surgeon to place blades in arrays or opposing pairs for symmetrical retraction in narrow cavities. Smooth contours facilitate atraumatic placement and reduce snagging on delicate tissues or sutures during intraoperative adjustments.
