Clinical Application
Designed to provide consistent exposure of the anal canal and lower rectum, this retractor is used in proctology and colorectal procedures including hemorrhoidectomy, sphincteroplasty, limited transanal excisions, and intraoperative inspection of rectal mucosa. The 90 x 38 mm blade offers a broad surface for atraumatic tissue retraction and improved visualization during procedures on the distal rectum and anal verge. The 23 cm overall length gives appropriate reach for standard operating table setups without excessive shaft length that can impede maneuvering.
Design & Configuration
The instrument uses a broad rectangular blade geometry to distribute retraction forces across a wider surface area, reducing focal pressure on mucosa while maximizing the operative field. The handheld configuration provides direct tactile feedback and simple handling for assistants or the primary surgeon. Blade dimensions balance exposure width and depth: the 90 mm dimension increases lateral visualization, while the 38 mm depth controls the amount of tissue held away from the field.
