Durham Retractor 19mm

Clinical Application

Provides targeted retraction of superficial soft tissue and skin edges to improve visualization and access through small or limited incisions. The narrow 19 mm blade is suitable for procedures where a slim profile is required to expose the operative field without excess tissue displacement, commonly used in plastic, dermatologic, ENT, and general minor surgical cases where controlled, precise retraction is needed.

Design & Configuration

The single narrow flat blade concentrates retraction force over a small footprint, allowing surgeons to elevate and hold skin or soft tissue with minimal bulk inside the wound. A 19 mm blade width balances exposure and minimal tissue distortion, facilitating delicate dissection and fine suture placement. The simple geometry supports easy placement and quick intraoperative repositioning by the assistant or surgeon.
