Middeldorpf Retractor 45x45mm, 25.5cm

Clinical Application

This instrument provides focal retraction for small to medium operative sites. Its compact 45 x 45 mm blade is suited to controlled exposure of soft tissue in confined fields—commonly used in ENT, maxillofacial, plastic/reconstructive, and cranial procedures where precise, limited retraction is required. The blade geometry allows the surgeon or assistant to maintain a clear line of sight and working corridor without extensive surrounding tissue displacement.

Design & Configuration

The square 45 x 45 mm contact area offers a defined retraction surface that distributes pressure across a predictable footprint, improving stability and reducing the need for frequent repositioning. At 25.5 cm overall length the instrument balances reach and control, making it practical for both superficial and slightly deeper exposures while remaining manageable in tight operative fields. The Middeldorpf pattern is optimized for directed, hand-held retraction rather than broad-field elevation.
