12 Hohmann Retractor Extra Long 18mm Blade

Extended Reach for Controlled Retraction

The 12" Hohmann Retractor Extra Long 18mm Blade is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to provide focused tissue retraction and practical access within the operative field. Its extra-long 12-inch profile supports reach when the working area is deeper or access around the incision is limited, while the 18mm blade dimension offers a defined contact surface for positioning. In general surgery, it can support exposure during procedures requiring controlled retraction. In orthopedic applications, its long format may assist with access around deeper anatomical structures. The straightforward Hohmann design supports familiar instrument handling and integration into established surgical workflows.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Provide extended reach when working within deeper or less accessible surgical fields.
• Assist orthopedic teams with controlled retraction around deeper anatomical structures.
• Position the 18mm blade to maintain a defined retraction point during surgical handling.
• Use as part of a coordinated instrument setup where a longer retractor profile is useful.

Specifications

Care & Handling
