Clinical Application
Designed to provide reliable exposure of the abdominal cavity during open procedures. The instrument is used for manual retraction of abdominal wall and viscera to maintain a clear operative field during laparotomy, bowel, gynecologic and urologic operations. The 30 cm length offers extended reach for deeper cavities and larger patients while enabling assistants or the primary surgeon to maintain consistent retraction throughout a procedure.
Design & Configuration
The retractor is supplied as a complete assembly (blade plus handle), providing a ready-to-use instrument for intraoperative retraction. A long, rigid shaft gives reach into the abdominal cavity, while the blade engages and maintains exposure of wound edges and viscera. The complete configuration supports secure manual control and facilitates consistent retraction angles required during dissection and exposure.
