Volkmann Retractor sharp 1pr. 21.5cm

Clinical Application

A sharp Volkmann retractor with a single tine provides focused retraction and precise tissue control in confined surgical fields. It is commonly used to retract soft tissue, fascia, subcutaneous tissue, and to hook or elevate small portions of periosteum or tendon during procedures in hand surgery, orthopedic, plastic, ENT and general surgical cases. Surgeons often use it for wound edge exposure, atraumatic hold during suturing when firm engagement is required, and as a complement to broader retractors for fine tissue manipulation.

Design & Configuration

The single sharp tine concentrates holding force at a small contact point to provide secure, focal retraction through small incisions or tight anatomical spaces. The 21.5 cm length offers additional reach into deeper pockets compared with shorter handheld retractors while remaining maneuverable at the operative field. The rake-style configuration permits quick placement and removal; because the tine is sharp, it is intended for firm engagement of tissue where controlled traction is needed—operators should use care to minimize unnecessary tissue trauma.
