Kristeller Vaginal Retractor 115x29mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic exposure of the vaginal canal and introitus during a range of gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Common uses include vaginal hysterectomy, anterior/posterior repairs (colporrhaphy), episiotomy/repair, pelvic examinations, and intraoperative visualization during urogynaecologic or minor operative procedures. The compact blade profile assists in direct retraction of soft tissue to improve visualization and instrument access in confined vaginal working spaces.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's hand-held retractor form provides controlled, focused retraction by the assistant or surgeon. The blade dimensions (115 mm x 29 mm) balance reach and surface area: length for access into the vaginal canal and width sufficient to distribute retraction forces over mucosa to reduce localized pressure. The simple single-blade geometry is intended for direct tissue elevation and exposure where a speculum is impractical or when sustained retraction is required during repair or dissection.
