Clinical Application
This hand-held Brunner retractor is intended to provide secure, controlled retraction of soft tissue and wound edges during procedures that require superficial to moderate-depth exposure. Common applications include general and vascular surgery, orthopedic approaches to shallow wounds, and soft-tissue procedures where a broad, stable blade is needed to distribute retraction forces and minimize focal pressure on tissue.
Design & Configuration
The instrument combines a broad blade with an ergonomic handle to improve control during manual retraction. The 25 mm blade width distributes load across a larger tissue surface to reduce localized pressure, while the 145 mm blade length and 24 cm overall length offer reach into moderately deep incisions without sacrificing maneuverability. The hand-held configuration provides tactile feedback and quick repositioning compared with self-retaining systems, making it useful for procedures that require frequent adjustment.
