Middeldorpf Retractor 14x17mm, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

This retractor provides focused soft-tissue exposure in confined or delicate operative fields. Its small blade profile and moderate shaft length make it well suited for ENT, neurosurgical, oral/maxillofacial, and reconstructive procedures where precise, atraumatic retraction is required to maintain a clear view of the operative site without excessive tissue tension.

Design & Configuration

The compact 14 x 17 mm blade offers a balance between working exposure and minimal footprint in narrow cavities. The 21.5 cm overall length gives the surgeon sufficient reach and hand clearance while maintaining tactile control at the blade tip. The simple handheld geometry enables fine adjustments of retraction angle and pressure, which is important when working around delicate structures in tight spaces.
