Harrington Retractor w/ hook handle 127x162mm, 32cm

Clinical Application

This broad-bladed retractor is designed to provide wide-area exposure of deep cavities with minimal focal pressure on soft tissues. It is commonly used in general, abdominal, hepatobiliary and gynecologic procedures to elevate and protect viscera (for example, liver or intestines) while maintaining a clear operative field. The large concave blade distributes retracting forces over a broad surface, reducing the risk of focal tissue injury during prolonged retraction.

Design & Configuration

The concave, broad blade geometry supports and contours to organ surfaces for stable, atraumatic retraction. The integrated hook-style handle allows secure one-handed manipulation and can be used to anchor or suspend the instrument when required during deep exposures. The 32 cm overall length provides reach into deeper abdominal or pelvic cavities while keeping the handle accessible to the assistant or surgeon.
