Koerte Retractor sharp 40x30mm, 8pr. 23.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide firm, multi-point retraction of soft tissue and wound edges where a secure grip is required. The 8-prong sharp configuration is used to maintain exposure of deeper or dense tissues during procedures in ENT, oral/maxillofacial, plastic and general surgery. Because the prongs are sharp, the instrument is intended for situations where minimal slippage is a greater concern than tissue-sparing retraction; exercise caution on fragile mucosa and superficial skin.

Design & Configuration

The 8-prong arrangement distributes holding force across multiple points to stabilize tissue without a single concentrated puncture site. Sharp prongs penetrate slightly to secure grip in mobile or tough tissues, reducing the need for repeated repositioning. The 23.5 cm working length gives reach into moderate-depth wounds and allows the assistant or surgeon to maintain exposure from a comfortable distance. The 40 x 30 mm footprint of the pronged end balances contact area with penetration depth to optimize hold versus local tissue trauma.
