Kuemmel Spatula flexible 100x45mm, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic retraction and gentle elevation of soft tissue, the flexible Kuemmel spatula provides broad exposure while reducing focal pressure on underlying structures. Its wide, flat blade is useful for reflecting mucosa and subcutaneous tissue and for maintaining exposure of superficial operative fields during dissection and closure. The instrument is appropriate wherever a conforming, low-profile retractor is needed to protect tissue or create working space in open procedures.

Design & Configuration

The flexible blade geometry allows the spatula to conform to curved anatomic surfaces, distributing retraction forces over a larger area to reduce tissue compression and ischemia. The 28 cm overall length gives additional reach and keeps the user’s hands away from the field, while the 100 x 45 mm blade provides broad coverage for efficient exposure. A straight shank with a flexible blade simplifies manipulation in shallow cavities and along contours where a rigid spatula would create pressure points.
