Meyerding Finger Retractor 7x4mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine, focused retraction in confined operative fields where a low-profile working end is required. Common applications include exposure and gentle retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, tendon sheaths, and small soft-tissue edges during hand and plastic procedures, microsurgery, ENT, and other specialties that require delicate tissue handling. The small 7 x 4 mm working surface allows precise placement against tissue without obscuring the field.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 7 x 4 mm working end provides a low-profile retraction surface that minimizes bulk in tight spaces and permits accurate, atraumatic control of tissue edges. The 18 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control, allowing the assistant or surgeon to maintain exposure while keeping hands clear of the immediate operative site. The straightforward finger-retractor geometry facilitates one-handed positioning and predictable tissue displacement during dissection and closure.
