Reverdin Abdominal Spatula 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for open abdominal procedures, this hand-held spatula provides broad, controlled retraction of the abdominal wall and superficial viscera. It is used to maintain exposure during general, trauma, and gynecologic operations where a slim, manually repositionable retractor is preferred—especially in shallow-to-moderate depth cavities or when assistants must frequently change retraction angle.

Design & Configuration

The flat, spatulated blade geometry distributes retraction forces across a wider surface area to reduce focal pressure on tissues while maintaining exposure. The Reverdin pattern's straight, elongated profile provides reach into the operative field without bulk, allowing the assistant or primary surgeon to adjust retraction quickly. The hand-held design is useful for dynamic retraction tasks where intermittent exposure or palpation is required.
