Kocher Retractor 1pr. blunt 22cm

Clinical Application

A single-prong blunt Kocher retractor designed to provide targeted soft-tissue retraction and exposure during open procedures. The blunt 1-prong tip is used to elevate and hold muscle, fascia, and subcutaneous tissue without sharp hooking, making it suitable for abdominal, extremity and thoracic cases where atraumatic retraction is desired. The 22 cm overall length provides additional reach into deeper wounds while remaining manageable for handheld use by the surgeon or assistant.

Design & Configuration

The single-prong configuration concentrates retraction force at a single contact point, which allows precise control of tissue elevation and directional exposure. A blunt prong minimizes the risk of inadvertent tissue tearing compared with toothed patterns, helping preserve superficial vascular and fascial planes during retraction. The hand-held design gives the operator tactile feedback and the ability to adjust angle and pressure dynamically, useful in confined or deep operative fields where self-retaining systems are impractical.
