Young Prostatic Retractor 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable exposure of the prostate and adjacent tissues during open urologic procedures. The instrument is used to retract peri-prostatic tissue and improve visualization in retropubic and perineal prostatectomies and other open pelvic approaches where controlled, sustained retraction is required. Its length and handling characteristics facilitate access to deep surgical fields while allowing the surgeon to adjust tension and angle dynamically.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 22 cm shaft provides additional reach into the pelvis compared with shorter abdominal retractors, enabling effective retraction in deeper cavities without excessive shaft bulk. The handheld configuration allows the assistant or primary surgeon to modulate retraction force and reposition quickly as the operative field changes. Blade geometry is optimized to distribute contact pressure over a broader surface, reducing focal tissue stress while maintaining secure exposure.
