Ricard Abdominal Retractor 28cm only

Clinical Application

Designed to provide sustained exposure of the abdominal cavity and wound edges during open abdominal procedures. The instrument is intended for retraction of soft tissue and organs to improve visualization and access in general surgery, trauma, gynecology, and other intra‑abdominal operations where a hand-held retractor is preferred. Its length supports work in deeper cavities while allowing the assistant or surgeon to adjust retraction dynamically.

Design & Configuration

The 28 cm length provides extended reach for deeper operative fields without compromising manual control. The hand-held configuration permits incremental adjustment of tension and direction of retraction, which assists in exposing specific anatomic planes or maintaining a clear operative corridor. A distal blade distributes retraction force across tissue to facilitate exposure while the shaft length helps keep the assistant’s hands clear of the primary field.
