Fritsch Retractor 45x50mm, 24cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled retraction of soft tissues to expose superficial operative fields. The 45 x 50 mm blade delivers a moderate-area platform for evenly distributing retraction forces, making the instrument useful for skin and subcutaneous retraction, flap exposure, and access to shallow cavities in general surgery, ENT, and plastic procedures. The 24 cm overall length gives additional reach for slightly deeper pockets or when working through small incisions while keeping the hand clear of the field.

Design & Configuration

The broad, flat blade geometry reduces point pressure on tissue and helps maintain atraumatic exposure across a wider surface area compared with narrow blades. Blade dimensions of 45 x 50 mm balance surface coverage with visibility, allowing assistants or primary operators to retract without significantly obscuring the operative view. The single-ended configuration simplifies handling and positioning during dynamic retraction tasks and is compatible with routine intraoperative hand-holding or placement on self-retaining accessories where appropriate.
