Meyerding Retractor medium 75x25mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction and exposure of soft tissues in open surgical procedures, this medium Meyerding-pattern retractor provides a balance between blade surface area and narrow profile. The 75 x 25 mm blade is sized to retract muscle, fascia, and soft tissue flaps without excessive tissue bunching, while the 23 cm overall length gives reach into moderate-depth wounds. Common applications include general surgery, gynecologic and ENT exposures, reconstructive work, and any case where a handheld paddle retractor is preferred for dynamic retraction by the surgeon or assistant.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular, flat blade geometry distributes retraction force across a broad contact area to reduce focal pressure on tissues. The 25 mm width allows access into narrower incisions where wider paddles would obstruct the field, while the 75 mm blade length provides adequate surface area for stable retraction. The 23 cm shaft length offers working reach for moderate-depth cavities without the bulk of long-shaft instruments, making it practical at the operative table for both exposure and gentle tissue manipulation.
