Senn Mueller (Kilner) Retractor D/E bl. 16cm

Clinical Application

This double-ended Senn-Mueller (Kilner) retractor is designed for controlled, superficial retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissues and small surgical cavities. Its blunt ends are intended to minimize tissue trauma while maintaining exposure of incision edges and shallow operative fields. Typical applications include hand and plastic surgery, ENT procedures, minor general and orthopedic cases, and outpatient/ambulatory procedures where precise, low-profile retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended geometry provides two complementary working tips without the need to change instruments during a procedure: a blunt three-prong rake for gentle hold and tissue manipulation, and a blunt L-shaped flat blade for broad surface retraction and exposure. The 16 cm length balances reach and control for shallow cavities and confined operative sites; the compact profile helps preserve the surgeon's line of sight and facilitates use in tight anatomical areas.
