Clinical Application
Designed to provide focused retraction and exposure in confined or shallow operative fields. The narrow 16 mm blade width is well suited for small incisions, mucosal or subcutaneous dissections, and procedures where a low-profile instrument is required to protect surrounding tissue while maintaining access. The hollow blade profile can help manage fluid and permits a lower-profile contact surface for controlled retraction in minor general, ENT, plastic and ambulatory surgical procedures.
Design & Configuration
The hollow blade geometry reduces blade mass and presents a broad, low-profile contact surface that distributes retraction forces over soft tissue. A 16 cm shaft length provides reach into superficial-to-moderately deep cavities without excess shaft bulk. The narrow 16 mm blade minimizes obstruction of the surgical field while allowing precise directional control by the assistant or primary surgeon.

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide durability and resistance to corrosion during repeated sterilization cycles. Construction emphasizes a smooth, low-profile hollow blade to reduce tissue snagging and to facilitate cleaning and sterilization. Reusable design for routine autoclave processing and long service life when maintained per facility protocols.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
