Rochard Abdominal Retractor 80x120mm, 31cm

Clinical Application

Designed for exposure and atraumatic retraction of the abdominal wall and superficial viscera during open general, colorectal and exploratory laparotomy procedures. The broad blade provides wide tissue displacement to improve operative field visualization and access while reducing concentration of pressure at the wound edge. Ideal for use by an assistant or surgeon for sustained manual retraction during abdominal cases.

Design & Configuration

The single broad blade geometry distributes retraction forces across a larger surface area versus narrow hooks, reducing focal tissue compression and helping preserve wound margins. The length provides reach into deeper incisions while maintaining control for directional retraction. Its flat, unperforated blade is suited to blunt retraction of soft tissues and abdominal wall musculature.
