Meyerding Retractor small 50x16mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This small Meyerding retractor is intended for localized soft-tissue retraction where a narrow, low-profile blade is required. Its compact 50 x 16 mm blade provides controlled exposure in confined wounds, deep cavities, and delicate dissection planes. Common uses include retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia and periosteum during general, plastic, ENT, spinal and select orthopedic procedures where fine, atraumatic exposure is needed.

Design & Configuration

The narrow, flat blade geometry concentrates retraction over a small footprint to maximize visibility while minimizing collateral tissue compression. The 20 cm overall length gives the operator reach into deeper pockets without excessive handle prominence at the wound edge. Rounded blade edges reduce shear and crush injury during manual retraction; the single-ended, handheld design allows precise one-handed positioning and quick intraoperative adjustments.
