Clinical Application
Provides atraumatic retraction of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial soft tissues to maintain exposure in small-field procedures. The two blunt prongs are intended to hold wound edges or soft tissue flaps without sharp penetration, making this style useful during debridement, suturing, implant placement, and simple open procedures in outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital settings.
Design & Configuration
The two-prong rake geometry spreads retraction force across a small footprint for controlled exposure while minimizing focal tissue trauma. Blunt tips reduce the risk of puncture or tearing when retracting delicate tissues. A 22 cm shaft length provides additional reach into deeper superficial cavities and keeps the surgeon's and assistant's hands away from the operative field while preserving tactile control.
