Richardson Retractor 52x22mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

This handheld Richardson retractor is intended to assist surgeons and surgical assistants in maintaining exposure of soft tissues and wound edges during open procedures. Its compact 52 x 22 mm blade provides a broad contact surface for atraumatic retraction of fascia, subcutaneous tissue, and viscera, making it useful in general, colorectal, gynecologic and other abdominal operations where controlled, single-handed retraction and visualization of a deep field is required.

Design & Configuration

The right-angle Richardson blade geometry distributes retracting force across a broad, flat surface to minimize focal pressure on tissue while providing dependable lateral coverage. The 24 cm overall length increases reach into deeper cavities without sacrificing tactile control; the handheld configuration permits the assistant or primary surgeon to adjust retraction quickly and precisely. The blade profile and angle are optimized to lift and hold wound edges, facilitating instrument passage and direct visualization.
