Kocher Retractor 60x25mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

This Kocher-pattern retractor is intended for manual retraction of soft tissues and wound edges in open surgical procedures. The broad 60 x 25 mm blade provides stable exposure of superficial and deeper tissue layers, facilitating visualization and instrument access during general, abdominal, trauma, and many specialty cases where controlled tissue displacement is required. It is commonly used by an assistant for sustained retraction or by the primary surgeon for intermittent exposure.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 60 x 25 mm blade delivers a wide contact surface to distribute retraction forces and reduce focal tissue pressure. The 23 cm overall length increases working reach into deeper cavities while keeping the working end outside the field for secure handling. The Kocher pattern is valued for straightforward geometry that combines broad exposure with tactile control during manual retraction.
