Dartigues Retractor 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable retraction of soft tissue in open procedures where extra reach is required, the 26 cm length is well suited for deeper cavities and thick soft-tissue envelopes. Common uses include retraction of muscle, fascia and subcutaneous tissue to maintain a clear operative field during general, orthopedic and specialty surgeries where controlled manual exposure is needed.

Design & Configuration

The elongated shaft provides extended reach while preserving tactile feedback for the assistant or surgeon. A single-ended blade arrangement allows precise placement and controlled levering of tissue; the geometry is intended to distribute retraction forces across the blade to reduce concentrated pressure on fragile tissues. The handheld format permits rapid repositioning and fine adjustments during exposure and closure.
