London Hospital Retractor 19x32mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

This handheld retractor is used to provide local soft-tissue and wound-edge exposure in a variety of surgical settings where precise, focused retraction is required. The 19 x 32 mm blade is sized to retract skin, subcutaneous tissue, and small soft-tissue flaps without excessive bulk, making it suitable for minor procedures, superficial dissections, and cases requiring controlled retraction in limited operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The London Hospital pattern provides a simple, ergonomic geometry that allows the operator or assistant to maintain consistent retraction with tactile control. The relatively compact blade footprint distributes pressure across a broader contact area to reduce focal tissue trauma, while the 23 cm overall length offers adequate reach for most superficial to moderately deep exposures without being cumbersome in confined spaces.
