Kristeller Vaginal Retractor 115x14mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled retraction of the vaginal walls and introitus, this instrument facilitates visualization and access during a range of gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Common uses include examination and exposure for repair of vaginal lacerations or episiotomies, dilation and curettage, insertion of intrauterine devices or instrumentation directed at the cervix, and supplemental exposure during minor operative hysteroscopy or ambulatory vaginal procedures. Its narrow profile supports access in confined fields while allowing assistants or single operators to maintain consistent exposure.

Design & Configuration

The blade-style single retractor geometry concentrates retraction along a slender footprint to retract tissue with minimal bulk within the surgical field. A 14 mm blade width and 115 mm length provide a balance between reach and control: long enough to retract deeper vaginal tissue while narrow enough to minimize obstruction of the operative view. A smooth, contoured blade reduces focal pressure on mucosa and helps distribute load across the retracted surface to limit tissue trauma during prolonged exposure.
