Meyerding Finger Retractor 10x3mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Small-profile retraction for confined operative fields. The 10 x 3 mm blade provides a narrow, low-profile contact area for atraumatic exposure of soft tissue, tendon sheaths, periosteum and small bone segments. Common uses include digital/finger procedures, hand and plastic surgery, tendon repair, small-fragment fracture exposure and other minor reconstructive or peripheral procedures where precise, localized retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 10 x 3 mm blade offers a minimal footprint that limits collateral tissue compression and improves visibility in tight spaces. The 18 cm overall length provides sufficient reach to retract deep or slightly recessed tissues while keeping the handle clear of the immediate operative field. The flat blade geometry distributes retraction force along a small surface area to reduce pressure points, helping maintain tissue integrity during microsurgical or loupe-assisted work.
