Kocher Retractor 40x10mm, 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for targeted soft-tissue retraction, this instrument provides focused exposure of wound edges, fascia, and superficial deep structures in confined operative fields. The narrow 40 x 10 mm blade is suited for small incisions and localized retraction during general surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive procedures, and select orthopedic exposures where precise visualization is required. As a handheld retractor, it is used to hold tissues aside temporarily while the surgeon performs dissection, hemostasis, or suturing.

Design & Configuration

The narrow rectangular blade concentrates retraction force over a small footprint to maximize visualization without excessively broad tissue displacement. A 22 cm overall length provides adequate reach and leverage for both superficial and moderately deep wounds while remaining maneuverable in tight spaces. The single-ended configuration gives the operator direct tactile feedback for controlled retraction; its profile is optimized for focal exposure rather than wide-field retraction.
