Richardson Eastman Retractor 28x20/36x28mm, 26cm

Clinical Application

This double-ended hand retractor is intended to provide broad, right-angle exposure of soft tissue and wound edges during open surgical procedures. It is commonly used in general and abdominal cases for retraction of subcutaneous tissue, fascia and organ margins where controlled manual retraction is required. The two blade sizes accommodate both superficial and deeper pockets, allowing an assistant or surgeon to maintain consistent exposure without frequent instrument changes.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended geometry places two right-angle flat blades on a single shaft so the operator can quickly select a smaller or larger blade without exchanging instruments. Right-angle blades present a low-profile working face that helps distribute retraction force across a broader area, improving visualization while reducing focal pressure on tissue. The 26 cm overall length offers reach into deeper wounds while preserving tactile control for precise retraction maneuvers.
