Senn Surgical Retractor 14.0 cm (5.5)

Compact Senn-Green Retraction for Controlled Surgical Access

The 5 1/2" Senn-Green Retractor 1/4"x3/8" is a hand-held retractor designed to draw tissue edges aside and help maintain a clearer working area during surgical procedures. Its compact 5 1/2" length supports close, controlled handling where access and instrument positioning matter. The Senn-Green pattern provides a practical option for general surgery and neurosurgery workflows that require localized retraction without introducing unnecessary instrument length. The 1/4"x3/8" dimensions identify the retractor’s working profile, supporting deliberate placement during exposure, tissue handling, and routine operative assistance.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue edges during localized exposure in general surgery procedures.
• Supporting controlled access in neurosurgical operative workflows where compact hand-held retraction is appropriate.
• Maintaining a more visible working area while an assistant or surgeon performs focused tissue handling.
• Using a short retractor for close-in positioning around a surgical site.
• Applying the Senn-Green pattern when a straightforward hand-held retraction task is required.
