Clinical Application
Designed to attach to a Ricard retractor frame, this 60 x 80 mm blade pair provides broad, stable soft-tissue retraction during open surgical procedures. The paired blades are intended to create balanced opposing exposure of wound edges or operative fields, improving visualization and access for dissection, implant placement, or layered closure. Their wide footprint helps distribute pressure over tissue to reduce focal compression where prolonged retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The 60 x 80 mm rectangular footprint offers extensive coverage while remaining low-profile at the wound margin, allowing both deep and superficial retraction without excessive bulk. Supplied as a matched left/right pair, the blades permit opposing retraction for symmetrical exposure. Smooth, atraumatic contact surfaces and rounded margins minimize tissue snagging. The geometry is optimized to mate with Ricard retractor frames, providing a secure, stable platform for hands-free exposure.
