Kocher Retractor 55x11mm, 21cm

Clinical Application

This handheld Kocher retractor is intended for focused retraction of soft tissue and wound edges in open surgical procedures. Its narrow blade profile is useful when exposing a limited field—for example during general surgery, vascular exposure, small soft-tissue dissections, and trauma procedures—where controlled, localized retraction is required to optimize visualization without excessive tissue distortion.

Design & Configuration

The compact blade geometry (55 x 11 mm) provides a narrow contact surface that concentrates retraction force on a confined area, which helps maintain exposure in tight or shallow wounds while minimizing interference with the surrounding field. The 21 cm overall length offers sufficient reach for most superficial and moderately deep exposures while remaining manageable for one-handed use. As a handheld instrument, it delivers direct tactile feedback and fine positional control for surgeons and assistants during delicate maneuvers.
