Abramsohn Surgical Retractor 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Retraction for General and Orthopedic Procedures

The Abramsohn self-retaining retractor is designed to hold tissue aside during open surgical procedures, helping maintain access without requiring continuous manual positioning. Its 5 1/2-inch size, outside cross-serrated blades, squeeze handle, and calibrated ratchet combine for deliberate placement and adjustable retention. The self-retaining format can support organized instrument handling in General Surgery and Orthopedic workflows where stable retraction and clear working access are important. The squeeze handle provides a practical gripping surface, while the calibrated ratchet supports controlled adjustment during use. Its focused design makes it a useful addition to retractor sets requiring compact, hands-on access management.

Use Cases

• Use the squeeze handle to position and adjust the retractor during setup and active surgical handling.
• Apply the outside cross-serrated blades where a secure retractor position is needed within the operative field.
