Strandell Stille Retractor 15x6mm, blunt 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for focused retraction of soft tissue, this instrument provides a narrow, controlled exposure of superficial and deeper planes through small incisions. The blunt blade tip minimizes the risk of puncture or inadvertent injury when retracting delicate structures, making it useful for specialties that require precise, low-profile retraction such as ENT, maxillofacial, plastic/reconstructive, vascular, and general surgery procedures. The 19 cm overall length gives additional reach for deeper operative sites while preserving the tactile feedback needed for fine retraction.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 15 x 6 mm blade concentrates retraction force over a small footprint, allowing surgeons to isolate and displace tissue without excessive compression of surrounding anatomy. The blunt blade edges reduce the chance of tissue slicing or puncture during manipulation. A longer 19 cm shaft provides reach and leverage for exposure in confined or deep fields while remaining compatible with handheld use by the primary surgeon or an assistant.
