Kristeller Vaginal Retractor 115x24mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled retraction of the vaginal walls and direct exposure of the cervix and lower vaginal vault. Commonly used in gynecologic examinations and operative procedures such as cervical biopsies, IUD placement, hysteroscopy setup, postpartum repair and minor vaginal procedures where a slim-profile retractor improves access and visualization. Typically held by an assistant to maintain a clear operative field while the primary surgeon works.

Design & Configuration

The low-profile, single-blade configuration offers targeted, unilateral retraction with minimal bulk in the field. The 24 mm blade width is intended to reduce tissue compression in narrower canals while the 115 mm length provides reach into the vaginal vault for procedures requiring deeper exposure. The handheld design permits rapid repositioning and tactile control, aiding precise tissue manipulation and line-of-sight for instrumentation or visualization.
