Kristeller Vaginal Retractor 115x26mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide atraumatic retraction of the vaginal walls, this blade-style instrument facilitates visualization and access to the vaginal canal and introitus during gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Common uses include exposure for diagnostic pelvic examinations, suturing and repair of lacerations, dilation and curettage, IUD placement and removal, and assisting access during some vaginal approaches to pelvic surgery. The slim profile supports use in narrow canals while maintaining adequate surface area for soft-tissue retraction.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s blade geometry balances reach and low profile: overall length provides access to deeper tissue planes while a narrow blade width minimizes tissue compression and improves maneuverability in the vaginal canal. The handheld, blade-style configuration gives the assistant or surgeon direct control of retraction force and direction, which is useful for fine adjustments during suturing or when rapid changes in exposure are required. Smooth, rounded edges and a contoured blade reduce localized pressure and help maintain tissue integrity during prolonged retraction.
