Jansen/Snitman Retractor blunt 3x3pr. 10cm

Clinical Application

Provides atraumatic retraction of superficial soft tissue to improve visualization and access during procedures. The three-by-three pronged blunt tip engages tissue securely while minimizing risk of tearing, making it suitable for skin and subcutaneous flap retraction, wound exposure, and small-incision procedures commonly encountered in general surgery, plastic/hand surgery, ENT, and minor orthopedic cases. Its compact length supports use in confined fields and allows a surgical assistant or the primary surgeon to maintain consistent exposure without obstructing the operative view.

Design & Configuration

The blunt 3x3 prong geometry distributes retraction force across multiple contact points to reduce focal pressure on tissue. Blunt tips are selected to limit tissue trauma and prevent snagging of delicate dermal and subcutaneous structures. At 10 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and control—long enough to retract through shallow to moderate-depth wounds while remaining short enough for precise manual handling in tight operative sites.
