Henley Retractor Blade 16x32mm

Clinical Application

This Henley retractor blade provides a low-profile, broad contact surface for atraumatic retraction of soft tissues and wound edges in confined surgical fields. Its 16x32 mm footprint is sized for small to moderate exposure needs—useful during procedures requiring precise, localized retraction such as superficial general surgery, plastic and reconstructive cases, ENT, oral/maxillofacial work, and minor orthopedic or hand surgery. The blade is intended to be paired with Henley-style handheld or self-retaining retractor assemblies to create a stable, controllable retraction angle.

Design & Configuration

The flat rectangular geometry distributes retraction force across a wider surface area to reduce point pressure on tissue, helping minimize localized trauma and improve visualization. The compact 16x32 mm profile allows access in tight or shallow incisions where larger blades would obstruct the field. Smooth, rounded edges on the blade reduce snagging of delicate tissues and facilitate atraumatic manipulation. The Henley pattern permits secure attachment to compatible handles or retractor arms for reliable positioning during the procedure.
