Mayo Adams Retractor with central blade 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for handheld retraction during open procedures, this retractor provides focused exposure of incision edges and underlying soft tissues. The central blade is used to displace tissue centrally within an operative wound, improving visualization and access for dissection, hemostasis, and closure. Its 17 cm length is suited to moderate-depth exposures commonly encountered in general, plastic and orthopedic cases.

Design & Configuration

The single central blade geometry concentrates retraction force across a broad, controlled surface to minimize localized pressure while maintaining consistent exposure. A straight shaft length of 17 cm offers a balance between reach and tactile control for the assistant or primary surgeon. The simple, open design makes it easy to reposition and orient the blade for optimal visualization without obstructing the operative field.
