Clinical Application
This Mikulicz-style retractor provides broad, atraumatic retraction of soft tissue and viscera during open procedures. It is typically used to hold back the abdominal wall, wound edges, or soft tissue planes to maintain exposure in general, gastrointestinal, gynecologic and other open surgical cases where a wide, flat contact surface is preferred over narrow hooks or sharp-pointed instruments.
Design & Configuration
The broad, flat blade geometry distributes pressure across a wider surface area, reducing focal tissue compression and helping preserve microcirculation at the retraction site. The 150 mm x 50 mm blade footprint offers a balance between exposure and tissue support, while the 26 cm overall length provides reach into the operative field without excessive handle intrusion. The handheld configuration allows the assistant or surgeon to control retraction direction and tension dynamically during dissection and closure.
