Rochard Abdominal Retractor 48x90mm, 31cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide broad, atraumatic exposure of the abdominal wall and deeper intra‑abdominal structures during open procedures. The blade footprint is intended to distribute retraction forces over a larger surface area to minimize focal pressure on soft tissues and viscera. Common uses include abdominal entry, bowel and mesentery exposure, pelvis access in gynecologic cases, and general surgery where a longer shaft and wide blade are required for deep cavities.

Design & Configuration

The rectangular 48 x 90 mm blade gives a wide, stable platform for tissue retraction, while the 31 cm overall length provides reach into deeper operative fields without crowding the surgeon's working space. The rigid shaft maintains consistent exposure once positioned. The blade geometry and footprint are chosen to balance surface contact for atraumatic retraction with a profile that allows visualization and instrument access along its edges—important for maintaining an unobstructed field during dissection and anastomosis.
