Kocher Retractor 3pr. semi sharp 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide secure, point retraction of soft tissue and wound edges, this 3-prong Kocher retractor is used to expose operative fields where a firm hold is required. The semi‑sharp prongs engage fascia, muscle and tougher soft tissue with reduced risk of slippage, making the instrument useful during general surgery, trauma and orthopedic procedures, wound debridement, and cases requiring sustained manual traction. Intended for handheld use by the assistant or primary surgeon; not recommended for delicate neurovascular structures where atraumatic instruments are preferred.

Design & Configuration

The three-prong layout distributes traction forces across multiple contact points to maintain exposure while minimizing focal cutting. The semi‑sharp prong profile offers a balance between grip and tissue preservation—penetrating enough to prevent slippage but less aggressive than fully sharp hooks. At 22 cm overall length, the instrument provides additional reach into deeper wounds and cavities while remaining manageable for precise manual retraction. The plain shaft and handle geometry permit a secure hand grip for controlled retraction under direct visualization.
