Clinical Application
This rigid Koerte retractor is designed to provide stable exposure of surgical wounds and soft‑tissue planes. The broad 120 x 47 mm blade distributes retraction forces across tissue, making it useful for maintaining access and visualization during dissection, hemostasis, suturing, and implant placement in general surgical cases. The 28 cm overall length offers reach into moderate‑depth cavities while keeping the handle clear of the operative field for assistants or self‑retaining placement where applicable.
Design & Configuration
The rigid shaft transmits retraction force without flex, supporting consistent tissue depression and minimizing the need for frequent repositioning. The rectangular 120 x 47 mm blade provides a wide contact surface to reduce focal pressure on tissue and improve exposure of wound edges. The 28 cm length balances reach and control for use in superficial to moderate depth procedures where a firm, non‑articulating retractor is preferred.
