Clinical Application
Designed for controlled retraction of superficial soft tissue and wound edges, this instrument facilitates exposure during incision, dissection, hemostasis, and suturing in general surgical, gynecologic, and minor procedures. Its footprint is appropriate for holding back skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and small muscle groups in confined operative fields. Typically used as a handheld retractor by the primary surgeon or an assistant to maintain a stable view of the operative site.
Design & Configuration
The single flat blade geometry with a 65 x 50 mm blade provides a broad contact surface to distribute retraction force and minimize focal tissue pressure. The 26 cm overall length gives adequate reach for superficial and moderately deep incisions while allowing precise control and ergonomic handling. The straightforward design enables quick placement and fine adjustments without obstructing the surgeon's line of sight.
