Clinical Application
Provides atraumatic retraction of the vaginal walls and perineal tissues to improve exposure during a range of gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Common uses include exposure for repair of lacerations and episiotomy, access during minor vaginal procedures, visualisation and instrument access for dilatation, and routine vaginal examinations when controlled retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight, rigid blade geometry and narrow profile allow precise retraction in confined anatomy while minimizing bulk in the introitus. A hand-held, single-blade configuration offers direct tactile control over tissue tension and positioning, enabling the assistant or primary operator to fine-tune exposure quickly. Smooth, contoured edges reduce focal pressure on soft tissue and facilitate atraumatic handling during prolonged retraction.
