Clinical Application
Designed to provide focal, hands‑free retraction of soft tissues in perineal, anorectal, urologic and gynecologic procedures. The instrument delivers localized exposure of wound edges and operative fields for procedures such as perineal repairs, drainage of perineal abscesses, local excisions, and other small-to-moderate perineal or anorectal interventions where controlled separation and sustained exposure are required.
Design & Configuration
The Gelpi-style geometry uses two single-pointed, outward-curved prongs to create a small-footprint retraction that concentrates force at the tips for effective tissue separation without large blade contact. The self-retaining action frees assistants’ hands during suturing and instrument changes. The integrated stop (locking stop) limits maximum opening and secures the instrument at the chosen spread, allowing controlled tension on delicate tissues and reducing the risk of inadvertent over‑retraction.
