Kocher Bladder Retractor 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable exposure and protection of the urinary bladder during open pelvic, urologic and gynecologic procedures. The retractor is used to elevate, lateralize, or shield the bladder while surgeons gain access to the retropubic space, perform bladder repair, cystotomy closure, pelvic dissection, or assist in hysterectomy and related operations. Its length and blade geometry facilitate deep pelvic reach while allowing an assistant to maintain consistent exposure.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's single-ended, angled broad blade distributes retraction force across a wider surface area to reduce focal pressure on bladder tissue. The 26 cm length provides sufficient reach for working in the deep pelvis without excessive handle encumbrance for the assistant. The angled profile helps conform to the anterior bladder contour and keeps the shaft clear of the operative field, improving visualization and instrument access for the primary surgeon.
