Clinical Application
Designed for broad-surface retraction in open procedures, this malleable Holmann retractor provides exposure of deep or superficial operative fields where a contoured, low-profile blade is advantageous. The 65 mm blade width distributes pressure over a larger area to reduce focal tissue compression, making it suitable for retraction of soft tissue, subcutaneous layers, and organ edges in general, vascular, and orthopedic cases where a bendable retractor improves access.
Design & Configuration
The malleable, flat-blade geometry allows the operator to bend the blade to match patient anatomy or surgical approach, creating a custom profile that maintains exposure without the need for multiple rigid instruments. At 37.5 cm overall length, the blade reaches deeper cavities while the 65 mm width provides a broad footprint for atraumatic retraction. The simple profile facilitates handheld use or placement beneath wound edges and can be combined with assistant-held or self-retaining systems when needed.
