Volkmann Retractor 4 prong sharp 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction of superficial soft tissue and wound edges, the 4-prong sharp rake provides secure purchase for exposure of small operative fields. The sharp tines allow the instrument to anchor into fascia or soft tissue to maintain consistent tension without frequent repositioning, making it useful in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, minor orthopedic and ENT cases, and other open procedures requiring precise superficial retraction.

Design & Configuration

The four sharp tines concentrate holding force over a small area to reduce slippage on firm tissues. A 23 cm shaft length offers extended reach from the incision to deeper or recessed working areas while keeping the working end accessible to the assistant or surgeon. The rake-style tip is optimized for grasping and reflecting tissue margins; the sharp configuration is selected when a more secure hold is required compared with blunt or rounded prongs.
