Clinical Application
Designed for deep pelvic exposure, this retractor provides controlled soft-tissue retraction during colorectal, proctologic, gynecologic and urologic procedures. The two blade sizes allow the operator to select or alternate between a smaller footprint for targeted retraction and a larger blade for broader exposure of the pelvis and posterior cul-de-sac. The 29 cm overall length enables access to deep operative fields while keeping handles and shafts clear of the wound site.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended geometry offers clinical versatility: a compact blade (35 x 45 mm) for focused retraction of rectal or perirectal tissue and a larger blade (124 x 60 mm) for distributing pressure over a wider area when more extensive exposure is required. The long shaft length facilitates reach into the deep pelvis without frequent repositioning, and the blade proportions are intended to reduce focal tissue pressure while maintaining a stable field. This configuration supports single-surgeon or assistant-held techniques and is suitable for use with standard retractor stands or hand-held retraction.
