Kocher Bladder Retractor 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable exposure of the urinary bladder during open urologic and pelvic procedures. Common applications include assisting cystotomy and bladder repair, retraction during pelvic dissection, and exposure during gynecologic procedures where controlled elevation or lateral displacement of the bladder is required. The 26 cm length offers extended reach for deep pelvic work while keeping the operator’s hand clear of the field.

Design & Configuration

The paddle-style blade geometry provides a broad contact surface to distribute retraction forces across the bladder wall, improving operative visualization and access to the vesical dome and anterior pelvis. The handheld design allows the assistant or surgeon to adjust tension and direction dynamically during dissection and suturing. The 26 cm shaft balances reach and control for procedures in the lower abdominal and pelvic cavities.
