Jansen Retractor Surgical Retractor 11.4 cm (4.5)

Controlled Retraction for Focused Surgical Access

The Gifford-Jansen retractor is a 4 1/2-inch handheld retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support a clearer working area during surgical procedures. Its 3x3 arrangement of sharp prongs provides a defined point of engagement, while the screw handle supports controlled positioning during handling. The compact overall length can suit work requiring close instrument control and access within a focused field. This configuration may be incorporated into cardiovascular, ENT, general surgery, and neurosurgery workflows where a small retractor is appropriate to the operative approach and facility technique.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during general surgery procedures requiring a compact handheld instrument.
• Provide focused exposure in ENT workflows where controlled retraction is part of the procedural approach.
• Assist with access and field management during cardiovascular procedures when the named retractor configuration is appropriate.
• Support precise handling in neurosurgery workflows where a short retractor may fit the intended working area.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp prongs, screw handle, and working surfaces for damage, distortion, residue, or impaired movement before reuse.
• Handle the prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect their working edges and prevent contact injury.
• Store the instrument securely in a manner that protects the prongs and allows inspection before the next procedure.
