Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic retraction of superficial soft tissue, this 4-prong Ollier provides controlled exposure of wound edges and operative fields. It is commonly used in general, orthopedic, plastic and reconstructive procedures where a broad, reliable hold on skin, subcutaneous tissue, or fascia is required during dissection, debridement, implant placement, or wound closure.
Design & Configuration
The four-prong blade distributes holding force across a wider area than single-point hooks, reducing focal pressure and tissue tearing while maintaining secure engagement. The 36 x 60 mm blade area offers a broad platform for retraction of relatively large soft-tissue flaps, while the 22.5 cm overall length provides reach and maneuverability for both superficial and moderately deep exposures. The single-piece handheld format allows rapid placement and repositioning by the assistant or surgeon without the need for an external stand or self-retaining mechanism.
