Kocher Retractor 6pr. blunt 22cm

Clinical Application

This multi-prong hand-held retractor provides atraumatic exposure of superficial and moderately deep surgical sites. The six blunt prongs are intended to hold wound edges, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle planes with distributed contact, minimizing point pressure and reducing the risk of tissue tearing. It is routinely used for controlled retraction during dissection, exposure, and closure in general surgery, plastic/reconstructive procedures, and orthopedic or trauma cases where temporary, adjustable retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The six-prong geometry increases surface contact and spreads retraction force across a broader area compared with single- or two-prong hooks, which helps protect delicate soft tissue. Blunt prongs provide secure hold without sharp penetration, useful when preserving tissue integrity is a priority. At 22 cm overall length, the instrument offers reach into deeper cavities while remaining manageable for precise, hand-held repositioning by the assistant or primary surgeon.
