Richardson Eastman Retractor 49x38mm/63x49mm, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, single-handed retraction of soft tissue and wound edges during open procedures. The combination of a smaller and larger blade provides immediate options for layered exposure in abdominal, thoracic, orthopedic and general soft-tissue surgery where deeper access and broad, atraumatic retraction are required. Useful for both superficial and deeper cavity exposure without frequent instrument changes.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration provides two blade profiles in one instrument, allowing the operator to select the appropriate blade width/depth without exchanging tools. Broad rectangular blades distribute contact pressure over a larger surface area, reducing focal tissue compression and helping preserve vascularized tissue at wound margins. The 28 cm overall length gives reach into deeper incisions and cavities while maintaining handheld control for dynamic retraction during dissection and exposure.
