Clinical Application
Designed to provide broad, atraumatic exposure of soft tissues during open procedures, this Mikulicz-style retractor is used primarily for abdominal and deep-cavity retraction. Its broad blade distributes pressure across a larger surface area, making it suitable for protecting viscera and wound edges while maintaining consistent exposure during general, gastrointestinal and other open surgical procedures. It is intended for use as an assistant-held retractor to maintain operative exposure during dissection, retraction and wound closure.
Design & Configuration
The flat, rectangular blade geometry provides a wide contact area that helps reduce focal pressure and tissue trauma compared with narrow hooks. The 120x50 mm blade dimension offers substantial coverage for retracting abdominal wall or deeper soft tissues, while the 26 cm overall length keeps the assistant's hand away from the sterile field and allows reach into deeper cavities. A rigid, single-piece design promotes reliable tissue control and predictable retraction force during the procedure.
