Micro Retractor w/saddle Blade 14x8mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

This micro retractor is intended to provide precise, low-profile retraction of delicate soft tissues in confined operative fields. The small saddle blade is optimized for controlled exposure of mucosa, fascia and superficial tissue layers during microsurgical procedures commonly performed in ophthalmology, otolaryngology (ENT), plastic and reconstructive surgery, hand surgery and other specialties requiring fine tissue handling. Its narrow footprint helps maintain visualization while minimizing focal pressure on fragile tissues.

Design & Configuration

The saddle blade geometry distributes retraction force across a shallow, curved contact surface to reduce point compression and tissue trauma compared with sharp-tipped instruments. The 14 x 8 mm blade provides a balance between exposure and atraumatic contact in small wounds or deep, narrow cavities. A 16 cm shaft length offers adequate reach for working through small incisions or operative corridors while preserving tactile control for the surgeon. The handheld micro profile supports precise placement and manipulation in delicate dissections.
