Durham Retractor 22mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled exposure of superficial to moderate-depth incisions, this retractor is commonly used to hold back skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia during minor general, ENT, plastic, and ambulatory procedures. The 22 mm blade width balances tissue surface area with fine access, helping maintain a clear field for dissection, suturing, and hemostasis without requiring large openings or multiple instruments.

Design & Configuration

The handheld broad, flat blade geometry distributes retraction force across a wider tissue area to reduce focal pressure and minimize trauma at the wound edge. The compact 22 mm blade is sized to provide good visualization in confined or shallow operative sites while preserving working space for microscopes, headlights, or other instruments. A single-blade handheld configuration allows rapid repositioning and manual control of tension during dynamic stages of a procedure.
