Clinical Application
This hand-held 6-prong Israel retractor is intended to provide reliable retraction of superficial soft tissues and wound edges. Its pronged blade pattern offers secure engagement of skin and subcutaneous tissue to maintain exposure during procedures such as small open general surgery, plastic and reconstructive cases, tendon and soft-tissue repairs, and routine procedure-room closures. The 70x70 mm prong footprint balances tissue engagement with a compact contact area for controlled retraction in confined fields.
Design & Configuration
The six-prong rake configuration distributes retraction forces across multiple contact points to reduce the tendency for tissue to slip while maintaining consistent exposure. A 25 cm overall length provides working reach and control for the assistant or primary surgeon without excessive shaft length that can impede handling in tight operative fields. The square 70x70 mm prong area gives a predictable retraction footprint useful for linear incisions and shallow cavities.
