Clinical Application
Provides broad, blunt retraction of abdominal viscera and soft tissues to improve exposure during open abdominal procedures. Commonly used for bowel, omentum, liver, and pelvic organ retraction in general, colorectal and gynecologic surgery. The 29 cm length offers extended reach into the abdominal cavity while maintaining control from the wound margin, facilitating visualization and safe tissue handling by the primary surgeon or assistant.
Design & Configuration
The straight spatula geometry distributes retraction force across a flat surface to minimize focal pressure on delicate tissues. A long, rigid shaft permits deep exposure without the handle intruding on the operative field. The flat blade design is intended for blunt, atraumatic displacement of viscera and can be positioned for longitudinal or lateral retraction depending on the procedure and anatomy.
