Kocher Retractor 1pr. sharp 22cm

Clinical Application

This single-prong, sharp Kocher retractor is designed to provide focused traction and exposure of skin edges, subcutaneous tissue and fascia during open surgical procedures. The sharp hook tip allows secure engagement of tougher tissue or slightly slippery edges, making it useful for general surgery, trauma and orthopedic exposures where controlled focal retraction is required. Because the tip concentrates force, it is commonly used when a firm hold is needed and when blunt retraction would not provide adequate purchase.

Design & Configuration

The single sharp prong concentrates holding force at a single point to reliably hook and maintain tension on tissue without slipping. The 22 cm overall length provides additional reach into deeper wounds and cavities compared with shorter handheld retractors, allowing an assistant or surgeon to retract deeper structures while maintaining an ergonomic working distance. The sharp tip improves secure engagement but requires careful placement to avoid unnecessary soft-tissue trauma; it is therefore selected when secure purchase is clinically indicated.
