Richardson Retractor Finger Grip Handle 38x38mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled manual retraction of soft tissues during open procedures, this style of retractor is commonly used for exposure of superficial and moderately deep wounds. The compact 38 x 38 mm blade footprint makes it suitable for small-to-medium incisions and dissection planes where precise, single‑handed retraction is required. Typical applications include general and abdominal surgery, thoracic access, orthopedic approaches to superficial tissues, and plastic or reconstructive cases requiring localized exposure.

Design & Configuration

The right‑angle, flat blade geometry combined with an integrated finger‑grip handle offers surgeons a secure, ergonomic hold and fine control of blade orientation and pressure. The finger grip permits one‑handed stabilization and deliberate repositioning without relying on additional clamps or assistants. The 38 x 38 mm blade dimension delivers a broad contact area to distribute retraction forces and improve operative field visualization while minimizing focal pressure on tissue.
