Clinical Application
Provides focused tissue retraction and exposure in confined operative fields. The compact 20 x 22 mm blade is sized for precise retraction of soft tissue in minor open procedures such as ENT, maxillofacial, hand, plastic and other specialty surgeries where a small, controlled footprint is required. The 22 cm overall length offers reach into shallow to moderate cavities while keeping the retracted field visible to the surgeon.
Design & Configuration
The H/handle configuration is designed to deliver a secure, ergonomic grip for controlled manual retraction. The defined 20 x 22 mm contact area concentrates retraction force to a small, repeatable surface, helping maintain consistent exposure without excessive bulk in the surgical site. The 22 cm shaft provides a balance of reach and maneuverability for direct hand-held use by the primary surgeon or an assistant.
