Kocher Retractor 6pr. sharp 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide firm, localized retraction of soft tissue and fascial edges, the 6-prong sharp configuration gives secure purchase in thicker or slippery tissue where slippage is a concern. Commonly used in general surgery, trauma, orthopedics and procedures requiring deep wound exposure, it helps hold muscle, fascia, or subcutaneous layers out of the operative field to improve visualization and access. Because the prongs are sharp, it is suited for use on tougher tissue layers rather than delicate skin and should be used with appropriate caution to avoid unnecessary tissue injury.

Design & Configuration

The rake-style geometry with six sharp prongs distributes retraction load across multiple teeth, reducing the tendency for any single point to cut through tissue while maintaining a secure grip. The 22 cm length provides reach into deeper wounds or cavities without crowding the operator's hands. The handheld design allows an assistant to modulate tension and angle of retraction dynamically during exposure and dissection.
