Judd Masson Bladder Retractor w/center blade

Clinical Application

Provides stable, low‑profile retraction and elevation of the anterior bladder during pelvic operations. Commonly used during hysterectomy, bladder mobilization, pelvic dissection and other gynecologic or urologic procedures where direct midline elevation of the bladder is required to improve exposure and protect the organ during sharp or blunt dissection and suturing.

Design & Configuration

The center blade design concentrates lift at the midline, allowing the bladder to be elevated evenly while preserving access to lateral dissection planes. The low‑profile blade minimizes obstruction of the operative field and permits atraumatic pressure distribution across the organ surface. A handheld format gives the assistant or primary surgeon precise control of blade position and angulation for dynamic retraction throughout a procedure.
