Clinical Application
Roux retractors provide broad, atraumatic retraction of soft tissues and fascial edges during open procedures. This set of three double‑ended Roux retractors is intended for general and abdominal surgery where controlled, hand‑held exposure is required—examples include small to medium laparotomies, hernia repair, vascular exposure through limited incisions, and soft‑tissue dissection where blunt, flat retraction minimizes focal pressure on tissues. The double‑ended format gives the assistant or primary operator immediate access to two blade sizes without instrument exchange.
Design & Configuration
Each instrument in the set features two spatulate blades on opposite ends, enabling quick selection of a wider or narrower working surface according to incision size and depth. The 17 cm length balances reach into the wound with ergonomic control for the assistant, making these retractors well suited for both superficial and moderately deep retraction. The broad, flat blade geometry distributes pressure across tissue to reduce point loading and help protect delicate structures while maintaining a clear operative field.
