Clinical Application
This handheld hosel retractor is used to provide exposure and maintain soft-tissue retraction in open surgical procedures. The blade dimensions deliver a broad, flat surface for distributing retraction forces across wound edges and tissue planes, making it useful for general surgery, orthopedics, plastic/reconstructive procedures and other cases where medium-depth access and controlled soft-tissue retraction are required. It is appropriate for holding back muscle, subcutaneous tissue, or wound edges during dissection, hemostasis and implant placement.
Design & Configuration
The blade measures 140 x 30 mm and is mounted on a 25 cm shaft, a combination that balances reach with a broad contact area. The blade footprint helps reduce focal pressure on tissues while the shaft length provides the working distance needed to access deeper wounds without encroaching on the sterile field. A low-profile blade edge facilitates insertion and atraumatic positioning along tissue planes; the handheld design allows the assistant or surgeon to adjust retraction dynamically during the procedure.
