Retractor hollow blade 18mmx16cm

Clinical Application

This hollow-blade retractor is designed to provide atraumatic exposure of soft tissue and wound edges in procedures requiring a narrow, low‑profile blade. The 18 mm blade width delivers focused retraction for small-to-moderate operative sites such as superficial soft‑tissue dissections, minor general surgery, ENT, and plastic procedures where controlled, precise exposure is required. The hollow blade geometry reduces bulk at the tissue interface and can accommodate fluid egress along the blade surface during irrigation or suctioning maneuvers.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a single, flat hollow blade that gives a broad contact area while minimizing tissue compression compared with thicker solid blades. The 16 cm working length provides reach into shallow to moderately deep cavities without excessive handle intrusion into the field. The hollow profile reduces instrument weight and allows the blade to sit closer to the tissue plane, improving visibility and access in confined spaces.
