Volkmann Retractor 6pr. blunt 22cm

Clinical Application

This 6-prong blunt Volkmann retractor is designed to provide atraumatic retraction of superficial tissues to maintain exposure of the operative field. It is commonly used in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, hand and peripheral orthopedics, ENT and minor soft-tissue cases where broad, gentle retraction of skin and subcutaneous tissue is required. The blunt prongs minimize tissue puncture while the multiple tines distribute retraction forces across a wider area.

Design & Configuration

The six blunt prongs offer a balance between secure hold and atraumatic contact. The evenly spaced tines allow the assistant or primary surgeon to retract tissue edges without concentrated pressure points, improving visibility and access along incisions or wound margins. The 22 cm length provides additional reach for deeper superficial planes while remaining manageable for one-handed positioning and adjustments.
