Clinical Application
Designed to provide broad, stable exposure of the abdominal cavity during open procedures. The instrument is used to retract the abdominal wall and soft tissues to facilitate access for exploratory laparotomy, general and colorectal surgery, gynecologic procedures, trauma laparotomies, and other open intra‑abdominal operations where extended reach and sustained exposure are required.
Design & Configuration
The 28 cm overall length provides additional reach for deeper cavities while keeping the working profile manageable at the incision. As a complete assembly, it is supplied ready for intraoperative use, reducing setup time. The working surface geometry is intended to distribute retraction forces over a broad area to minimize focal tissue pressure and improve visualization of the operative field.
