Gosset Abdominal Retractor complete, 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for open abdominal procedures, this Gosset abdominal retractor provides reliable exposure of the anterior abdominal wall and intra-abdominal contents during laparotomy. It is used to maintain consistent wound exposure for general, colorectal, gynecologic, and urologic surgery where blunt, broad-surface retraction of soft tissue and viscera is required. The 16 cm working length is suited to shallow-to-moderate depth cavities where controlled retraction and visualization are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The instrument is supplied as a complete assembly, ready for use at the operating table. The configuration balances working length and control to facilitate atraumatic retraction while minimizing instrument bulk at the incision site. A complete assembly reduces setup time and ensures secure attachment of blade components to the frame, permitting stable, hands-free exposure when used with auxiliary supports or assistants.
