Rigby Retractor Vaginal 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide effective exposure of the vaginal canal and perineum during gynecologic and related procedures. Common uses include intraoperative retraction for anterior and posterior repairs, episiotomy visualization and repair, examination and drainage procedures, and instrumentation access during minor operative cases in clinic, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital operating rooms. The 18 cm length affords deeper reach in patients requiring extended exposure.

Design & Configuration

The single‑blade, handheld configuration allows an assistant or circulating clinician to manipulate tissue and maintain exposure as needed. A smooth, rounded blade profile helps distribute retraction force and reduces focal pressure on mucosal surfaces to minimize trauma. The 18 cm overall length balances reach and control for deeper vaginal access while remaining manageable for bedside positioning and suturing.
