Farabeuf Retractor D/E 15cm Fig.2

Clinical Application

This handheld retractor provides reliable, low-profile exposure of superficial surgical fields. It is routinely used to hold skin, subcutaneous tissue and small muscle edges apart during dissection, hemostasis, and wound closure. Common applications include general surgery (skin and soft-tissue dissections), vascular access exposure, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT and maxillofacial cases where shallow, controlled retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration delivers two usable ends so the operator or assistant can reverse the instrument for orientation or access without changing instruments. Each end features a blunt, flat rectangular blade that distributes retraction forces across a wider surface area to minimize focal tissue pressure. The compact 15 cm length provides a low-profile working profile suitable for shallow incisions and confined operative fields where a long, deep retractor would be obtrusive.
