Kristeller Vaginal Retractor 115x17mm

Clinical Application

Provides predictable exposure of the vaginal walls and introitus to facilitate visualization and instrument access during gynecologic exams and minor procedures such as biopsies, endometrial sampling, IUD placement, dilation & curettage, and vaginoscopy set-up. The narrow blade profile supports access in patients with a tighter introitus or when a focused retraction field is required.

Design & Configuration

The slender blade geometry and moderate length balance reach and control: the 115 x 17 mm blade offers a narrow footprint that reduces tissue bunching while providing sufficient surface area for atraumatic retraction. A handheld configuration allows single-operator manipulation and dynamic adjustment of exposure without additional fixation. Smooth contours and a low-profile edge help minimize soft-tissue trauma and improve visibility in the operative field.
