Middeldorpf Retractor 55x70mm, 25.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides broad, atraumatic retraction of soft tissue and musculature to expose the operative field in open procedures. The 55 x 70 mm blade footprint is intended to distribute retraction forces over a larger surface area, improving visualization of deeper planes while minimizing focal pressure on tissue. Useful whenever wide, flat retraction is required to access a surgical site or maintain exposure during dissection and suturing.

Design & Configuration

The moderate overall length (25.5 cm) places the blade at a working depth suitable for many open-cavity procedures while keeping the handle accessible to the assistant or surgeon. The blade footprint (55 x 70 mm) supplies a broad contact area that helps spread retraction force; this geometry is beneficial when gentle, uniform tissue displacement is preferred over sharp focal retraction. The shaft-mounted blade configuration provides a stable, predictable retraction plane for controlled exposure.
