Hibbs Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Visibility

The Hibbs retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support exposure during operative work. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides practical reach, while the 3 1/4-inch by 1-inch-wide blade offers a defined contact surface for controlled retraction. The flat handle supports straightforward manual positioning and adjustment as access needs change. Suitable for use across cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic workflows, this retractor can help maintain a clearer working area during tasks that require stable tissue management. Its focused design supports familiar handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.
