Fritsch Retractor 45x40mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic exposure of superficial soft tissue and wound margins, this retractor is used wherever controlled, localized retraction is required. The moderate blade footprint supports tissue evenly, making it appropriate for minor open procedures, soft-tissue dissections, and procedures in ENT, plastic/reconstructive surgery and outpatient surgical settings. Its 24 cm length gives the operator reach into deeper incisions while remaining suitable for use as an assistant-held or surgeon-held retractor.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 45 x 40 mm blade distributes retraction force over a broad surface to reduce focal pressure on tissue and help maintain a clear operative field. A single-blade, handheld configuration allows rapid placement and repositioning during exposure without the complexity of self-retaining hardware. The 24 cm overall length balances reach and control—long enough to access deeper wounds while preserving tactile feedback and stability for precise retraction.
