Clinical Application
Designed for use with a Goligher retractor frame, this lateral blade provides controlled lateral tissue displacement to optimize exposure of the anal canal, distal rectum and perianal region. Supplied as a matched pair, the blades allow bilateral retraction for procedures such as hemorrhoidectomy, excision of perianal lesions, sphincter-sparing low-rectal work and intraoperative inspection of the anorectal mucosa. Proper placement reduces the need for manual tissue handling and improves visualization for both sharp and electrosurgical dissection.
Design & Configuration
Each lateral blade presents a broad, flat retraction surface oriented to pull tissue laterally away from the midline. The matched-pair configuration permits symmetric exposure and controlled retraction vectors, helping distribute retraction force across a wider area to minimize focal pressure on mucosa and perianal skin. The 102 mm length provides sufficient reach for low-rectal and anal canal work while remaining compact for use in confined perineal operating fields.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Lateral blade for Goligher retractor
- Configuration: Sold and used as a pair
- Length: 102 mm
- Tip pattern: Lateral retraction blade with broad contact surface
- Typical use: Anorectal and perianal surgical exposure (hemorrhoidectomy, low-rectal procedures)
- Material: Medical-grade stainless steel
- Reusable: Yes — designed for repeated sterilization cycles
Material & Construction
Constructed from medical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated sterilization and OR use. The blade design emphasizes a smooth retraction surface to reduce mucosal trauma and facilitate atraumatic exposure. Components are machined and finished to provide consistent seating and handling when mounted to Goligher-style retractor frames.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
