Norfolk and Norwich Retractor 4x5pr. blunt 51x215mm, 22CM

Clinical Application

This retractor provides stable, hands-free exposure of superficial and deep soft tissues in open procedures. The 4 x 5 prong configuration offers secure engagement of wound edges and fascial planes, making it useful for abdominal, pelvic and gynecologic cases, as well as general surgical operations where sustained retraction is required without constant manual support.

Design & Configuration

The paired pronged blades distribute retraction force across multiple points to reduce localized tissue pressure while maintaining firm hold. Blunt prong tips are designed to minimize risk of penetrating or sharp trauma to tissue. The blade footprint (51 x 215 mm) combined with an approximately 22 cm overall length provides a balance of reach and exposure for medium-depth cavities. An adjustable locking mechanism allows the retractor to remain in position, freeing assistants for other tasks and maintaining consistent visualization of the operative field.
