Bodnar knee retractor 8 acute angled blade flat handle

Angled Access for Controlled Surgical Retraction

The Bodnar knee retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to help maintain exposure during tissue retraction in General Surgery and Orthopedic procedures. Its 8-inch length provides a practical reach for working around the operative field, while the acute angled blade is suited to directing retraction from a chosen approach. The flat handle supports straightforward manual handling and repositioning as the procedure progresses. By combining a focused blade profile with a familiar hand-held format, this retractor can help support organized exposure and instrument access without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical setup.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue retraction during General Surgery procedures where a hand-held angled retractor is appropriate.
• Assist with exposure in Orthopedic procedures involving the knee or adjacent operative areas.
• Use the acute angled blade to approach the operative field from a more focused direction.
• Reposition manually as needed to maintain access and visualization during the procedure.
• Incorporate into surgical setups requiring an 8-inch retractor with a flat handle.
