Retractor hollow blade 16mmx16cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide focused retraction and exposure in confined or shallow operative fields. The narrow 16 mm blade width is well suited for small incisions, mucosal or subcutaneous dissections, and procedures where a low-profile instrument is required to protect surrounding tissue while maintaining access. The hollow blade profile can help manage fluid and permits a lower-profile contact surface for controlled retraction in minor general, ENT, plastic and ambulatory surgical procedures.

Design & Configuration

The hollow blade geometry reduces blade mass and presents a broad, low-profile contact surface that distributes retraction forces over soft tissue. A 16 cm shaft length provides reach into superficial-to-moderately deep cavities without excess shaft bulk. The narrow 16 mm blade minimizes obstruction of the surgical field while allowing precise directional control by the assistant or primary surgeon.
