Blade for Ricard Retractor 50x70mm

Clinical Application

This 50x70 mm retractor blade provides predictable, stable exposure of superficial and moderately deep wounds. It is used to retract soft tissue and maintain a clear operative field during general surgical procedures and other specialties where the Ricard retractor system is employed. The blade functions as a direct replacement component to restore or increase the retractor's available footprint for tissue retraction and operative visualization.

Design & Configuration

The 50x70 mm rectangular footprint offers a broad contact area that distributes retraction forces across soft tissue, improving exposure while reducing focal pressure. The blade is sized to provide balanced visibility and access in small-to-moderate surgical openings. A secure mounting interface aligns and locks the blade to the Ricard retractor frame to maintain stable retraction throughout a procedure, minimizing the need for intraoperative repositioning.
