Clinical Application
Designed to provide broad, atraumatic retraction of soft tissues and wound edges, this instrument is used to expose operative fields in general, abdominal and pelvic procedures. The flat blade distributes pressure over a wider surface area, helping reduce focal tissue trauma while maintaining consistent exposure in both superficial and deeper cavities. It is suitable for assistant-held retraction and situations requiring sustained manual exposure during dissection, cautery or suturing.
Design & Configuration
The L-shaped geometry gives the surgeon and assistant improved reach and mechanical advantage when retracting tissue in confined or deep operative sites. A 115 x 27 mm flat blade provides a moderate blade footprint that balances tissue distribution with visibility, while the 28 cm overall length extends access into deeper wounds without compromising control. Smooth, flat blade contours facilitate sliding under tissue planes and reduce snagging on sutures or fascia.
