Clinical Application
Provides broad, atraumatic retraction for open abdominal procedures to expose the anterior abdominal wall and intra-abdominal viscera. The large 150 x 150 mm blade footprint is intended to distribute retraction forces over a wider surface area, helping maintain exposure during laparotomies, bowel resections, gynecologic and urologic operations, and other open general surgery cases where wide-field visualization and soft-tissue protection are required.
Design & Configuration
The Rochard pattern features a large rectangular blade geometry that increases contact area with soft tissue and viscera, reducing focal pressure and tissue trauma compared with narrow-pointed retractors. At 31 cm overall length, the instrument offers sufficient reach for deep abdominal cavities while retaining control for fine adjustments. The blade footprint dimensions (150 x 150 mm) are optimized for broad surface retraction and can be used manually by an assistant or positioned with holding systems as the clinical workflow requires.
