Clinical Application
Designed for open urologic and pelvic procedures, this retractor provides controlled elevation and exposure of the bladder and adjacent soft tissues. Common uses include cystotomy exposure and repair, suprapubic and retropubic approaches, and general pelvic dissection where a low-profile, atraumatic blade is required to protect mucosa while maintaining visualization.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's elongated 27 cm shaft gives surgeons extended reach into the deep pelvis and retropubic space without excessive hand encroachment into the field. The single-ended, handheld configuration allows tactile control and rapid repositioning. A blunt, flat blade distributes retraction force across a broader surface to minimize focal pressure on the bladder wall and reduce the risk of tissue trauma during retraction.
