Crawford Retractor 15x15mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

This instrument provides focused soft-tissue retraction for small- to medium-sized incisions and superficial operative pockets. The compact 15 x 15 mm blade footprint allows precise exposure of wound edges and targeted anatomic structures with minimal obstruction of the operative field. It is suitable for procedures that require delicate, localized retraction such as ear/nose/throat, facial/plastic soft-tissue work, hand surgery, oral/maxillofacial, and other minor general surgical cases where controlled fingertip retraction is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The small square blade geometry concentrates retraction force over a controlled area to improve visualization while reducing unnecessary tissue compression. A 19 cm overall length provides additional reach for deeper subcutaneous planes or slightly recessed operative sites without sacrificing tactile control. The handheld configuration permits rapid intraoperative adjustments and is compatible with single-operator or assistant-held retraction techniques.
