Clinical Application
Designed for direct retraction of anorectal tissues, this instrument provides controlled exposure of the anal canal and distal rectum for procedures such as hemorrhoidectomy, fissure and fistula repair, sphincteroplasty, excision of perianal lesions, and transanal inspection or instrumentation. The blade geometry facilitates atraumatic displacement of mucosa and soft tissue to improve visualization and access in confined pelvic working spaces.
Design & Configuration
The single broad blade (75 x 23 mm) offers a continuous, flat contact surface that distributes retraction force to minimize focal pressure on tissue. At an overall length of 15 cm the instrument reaches the distal rectum while remaining manageable for hand-held use. The Smith Buie pattern is intended to provide stable, direct exposure without requiring additional self-retaining hardware, enabling the assistant or surgeon to manipulate exposure dynamically as the procedure requires.
