Crile Retractor D/E 11.5cm

Clinical Application

Compact, double-ended retraction for soft-tissue exposure in superficial to mid-depth operative fields. Commonly used to hold skin, subcutaneous tissue, and small fascial edges aside during minor general, outpatient, and specialty procedures where a low-profile, easily reversed working end speeds exposure without exchanging instruments.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration provides two working orientations without instrument exchange, allowing quick alternation between directions of retraction. The 11.5 cm overall length balances reach and control for shallow to moderate depths, helping maintain a stable surgical corridor while minimizing hand fatigue and clutter on the mayo stand.
