Clinical Application
Designed to provide reliable soft-tissue retraction and wound exposure during open surgical procedures. Its 20 cm length gives the operator additional reach into moderate-depth cavities while allowing an assistant or surgeon to maintain consistent retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, or muscle during dissection, implant placement, and wound closure.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s hand-held design and shaped blade permit controlled, directional retraction with tactile feedback. The blade geometry spreads retraction forces across the tissue edge to reduce focal pressure and improve visualization of the operative field. The length balances reach and control, enabling use in superficial and moderately deep exposures without excessive lever arm or fatigue for the assistant.
