Meyerding Finger Retractor tooth 7x4mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This retractor is intended for controlled exposure of small wounds and working fields, particularly in digital and hand procedures. The toothed tip provides secure purchase on skin and subcutaneous tissue to maintain exposure of tendon, nail bed, bone edges or small soft-tissue flaps without frequent repositioning. Typical uses include hand and finger trauma repair, tendon work, nailbed procedures, small soft-tissue dissections and selected plastic or reconstructive cases where precise, localized retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The Meyerding finger retractor features a narrow blade terminating in a defined 7 x 4 mm tooth that concentrates holding force for reliable grip on slippery or mobile tissue. The 18 cm overall length gives adequate reach from the handle to the operative field while preserving fine tip control, allowing the assistant or surgeon to optimize exposure without encroaching on the surgical site. The single-tooth design trades atraumatic broad contact for positive tissue purchase, reducing slippage during delicate manipulations.
