Wassmund Retractor 33x20mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended to provide precise, atraumatic retraction of soft tissue in confined or shallow operative fields. The compact rectangular blade is sized to expose localized areas of mucosa or subcutaneous tissue without occupying excessive space in the wound, facilitating visualization and access during minor procedures and layered dissection. It is well suited for procedures where controlled, localized retraction is required by the surgeon or an assistant.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 33x20 mm blade delivers a broad contact surface that distributes pressure evenly to reduce focal tissue trauma while maintaining clear exposure. The 20 cm overall length balances reach and control, allowing the instrument to access deeper surfaces from the incision edge without excess shaft bulk. The single-ended, handheld format provides direct tactile feedback for fine adjustments and is compatible with standard retraction workflows.
