Retractor (Kaupp) self retaining blunt 10.5cm

Clinical Application

This self-retaining Kaupp retractor provides stable, hands-free exposure in small to moderate surgical fields. It is used to maintain soft-tissue or wound-edge retraction during procedures where continuous manual retraction would be impractical, such as ENT, hand and peripheral orthopedic procedures, plastic and reconstructive cases, and minor general surgery. The blunt tips are intended to reduce focal tissue trauma while preserving access to the operative site.

Design & Configuration

The self-retaining configuration secures retraction without the need for constant manual tension, allowing the surgical team to work with both hands free. The blunt tip design minimizes the risk of tissue penetration or tearing in delicate structures. At 10.5 cm overall length, the geometry supports retraction in relatively shallow to moderate depth wounds and confined workspaces; the compact profile facilitates precise placement and adjustment in narrow operative corridors.
