Clinical Application
A hand-held retractor intended to provide broad, atraumatic exposure of superficial soft tissues and wound edges during open procedures. The wide, flat 140 x 40 mm blade is suitable for holding back skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia to improve visualization and access during general, plastic, oral/maxillofacial, and minor surgical cases where a broad retraction surface is required.
Design & Configuration
The rectangular blade geometry distributes pressure over a larger surface area to reduce focal tissue compression while maintaining an unobstructed field. The 25 cm shaft length gives extended reach for deeper superficial cavities or when an assistant must maintain retraction from outside the primary incision zone. The simple flat-blade configuration allows the blade to be positioned edge-on for narrow exposure or laid flat for wider retraction.
