Clinical Application
Provides atraumatic retraction and controlled exposure of the vaginal walls during a range of gynecologic procedures. Common uses include vaginal examination, dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy setup, repair of vaginal lacerations, minor vaginal surgery and procedures where direct visualization and working space in the vaginal canal are required. The narrow blade footprint is useful for targeted retraction with minimal obstruction of the surgical field.
Design & Configuration
The Braun pattern features a single, narrow blade engineered for precise handheld retraction. The 60x10 mm blade offers a compact contact surface that permits focused lateral displacement of tissue while limiting bulk in the operative field. An 18 cm overall length provides sufficient reach into the vaginal canal for most adult patients while keeping the operator's hand clear of the working area. This geometry supports direct manual control by the primary surgeon or assistant for dynamic retraction during instrumentation.
