Sauerbruch Retractor 75x20mm, 22.5cm

Clinical Application

This hand-held retractor is designed to provide broad, low‑pressure retraction and improved exposure of superficial and moderately deep surgical wounds. The 75 x 20 mm flat blade gives a wide contact area suitable for distributing retraction forces across soft tissue and wound edges, reducing focal pressure. It is used across general surgical procedures demanding atraumatic exposure and control of tissue planes, and is commonly employed by an assistant or surgeon for retraction during dissection, exposure, and wound closure.

Design & Configuration

A single flat rectangular blade provides a stable, predictable contact surface that helps evert or lift tissue without concentrated pressure points. The 22.5 cm overall length offers sufficient reach into deeper incisions while preserving tactile control at the handle. The simple, straight geometry facilitates precise placement and removal and is compatible with standard operative workflows where a compact, broad blade is preferred.
