Clinical Application
This hosel retractor is designed to provide wide, low-profile retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and soft tissue layers to maintain a clear operative field. The broad 120 x 30 mm blade distributes pressure across a larger surface area, making it suitable for gentle retraction during general, plastic, and minor orthopedic procedures, as well as wound debridement and soft-tissue exposure when moderate shaft length is required.
Design & Configuration
The offset hosel geometry positions the blade away from the shaft axis to clear the wound margin and improve visibility over the working field. The single flat blade provides a broad footprint for atraumatic tissue handling, while the 25 cm shaft length offers reach into deeper superficial cavities without requiring excessive force. This combination supports controlled, stable manual retraction by the surgeon or assistant.
