Oldberg Retractor 8 teeth, 20cm

Clinical Application

This rake-style retractor is used to retract and evert soft tissue and wound edges to improve visualization and access in open procedures. The multi‑tooth tip provides secure engagement of fascia, subcutaneous tissue and muscle layers, reducing slippage during retraction. It is commonly used in general surgery, orthopedics, plastic and reconstructive procedures, and other operative settings where a firm, localized hold on tissue is required.

Design & Configuration

The 8-tooth rake configuration distributes holding force across multiple points to minimize concentrated pressure while maintaining consistent traction on tissue. The 20 cm shank length gives reach into moderate-depth cavities without excessive bulk at the wound margin, allowing the instrument to expose deeper planes while keeping the surgical field accessible. The narrow rake profile reduces interference with instruments and suturing while providing tactile feedback to the operator.
