Clinical Application
This blade mounts to a Turner‑Warwick self‑retaining retractor to provide broad-area retraction and exposure of soft tissues during surgical procedures. Its 89 x 60 mm footprint offers a wide contact area for atrauma retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue and superficial fascial planes. It is commonly used during procedures that require stable, hands‑free retraction such as selected general, urology, gynecology and colorectal exposures where a modular retractor system is employed.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular 89 x 60 mm geometry delivers an extended contact surface that helps distribute retraction force over a larger tissue area, reducing focal pressure and improving visualization of the wound. The blade is configured to engage the Turner‑Warwick blade holder/arm and lock securely in place, enabling reproducible positioning and tension control. The flat profile and broad footprint are selected to balance exposure with atraumatic handling of delicate soft tissues.
