Kocher Retractor 75x40mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

This handheld Kocher retractor is used to expose and maintain access to operative fields by mobilizing and holding soft tissue, fascia, and muscle edges during open procedures. The 75 x 40 mm blade provides a broad footprint for effective retraction of tissue planes in abdominal, thoracic, and select orthopedic cases where controlled, manual retraction is required. The 23 cm overall length gives additional reach for deeper wounds while remaining manageable for single-handed positioning by the assistant or surgeon.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 75 x 40 mm blade distributes pressure across a wider surface area, reducing focal stress on exposed tissue compared with narrow hooks. As a handheld instrument, it allows quick repositioning and fine adjustments during critical steps such as exposure of fascia, dissection planes, and vessel control. The 23 cm length balances reach and control: long enough for moderate-depth cavities but short enough for tactile feedback and ergonomic handling at the wound edge.
