Clinical Application
Provides secure, penetrating retraction for small- to medium-field exposures where firm purchase on soft tissue is required. The four sharp prongs give multi-point fixation to skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, or tendon edges during procedures such as wound debridement, plastic and reconstructive cases, minor orthopaedic or hand surgery, and many soft-tissue dissections. Its 16 cm length is optimized for superficial operative fields and close working distances where precise tissue control is needed.
Design & Configuration
A flexible shank allows the instrument to conform to curved surfaces and to be positioned at variable angles without transferring excessive leverage to the tissue or surgeon’s hand. The four sharp, evenly spaced prongs distribute holding forces to minimize point migration while giving reliable purchase in mobile or slippery tissues. This configuration facilitates atraumatic retraction when controlled, and enables the assistant or scrub to maintain consistent exposure without frequent repositioning.
Instrument Specifications
