Clinical Application
This double-ended Ragnell–Davis retractor provides low-profile, precise soft-tissue retraction for superficial to mid-depth exposures. The pair of differing blade sizes allows the assistant or primary surgeon to adapt exposure quickly during procedures such as plastic and reconstructive surgery, otolaryngology, paediatric and minor general surgical cases where small, controlled retraction of wound edges, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia is required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's double-ended format puts two blade profiles at hand without instrument exchange: one larger blade for broader retraction and one smaller blade for focused, delicate exposure. The R/H designation indicates the right-hand configuration commonly selected to optimize ergonomics and blade orientation for right-sided exposures or right-handed operators. A 15 cm overall length balances reach and control for work in shallow surgical fields.
