Meyerding Finger Retractor tooth 16x5mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This finger retractor is designed to provide targeted exposure in confined digital and hand surgical procedures. It is used to retract skin, subcutaneous tissue, nail bed, periosteum and small soft-tissue envelopes during tendon repairs, fracture fixation of phalanges, debridement, nail procedures and other microsurgical or peripheral procedures on the digits. The toothed tip helps maintain reliable purchase on tissue in a small operative field where precision and minimal bulk are critical.

Design & Configuration

The compact toothed blade concentrates holding force on a narrow footprint, reducing the risk of slippage in slippery or mobile tissue while minimizing obstruction of the surgical field. The finger-retractor geometry allows direct manual control and fine adjustment by the surgeon or assistant. The overall length provides reach to deeper digital pockets without excessive handle bulk at the skin surface, facilitating access in tight or layered exposures.
