Kawamoto retractor 6 double-ended 14.0mm wide insulated blades flat handle

Versatile Double-Ended Retraction for Controlled Operative Access

The Kawamoto retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to draw tissue aside and support visualization during operative access. Its 6-inch length provides a practical reach for controlled manipulation, while the double-ended design offers two 14.0 mm-wide insulated blades in one instrument. The flat handle supports straightforward manual positioning and adjustment as the operative field changes. Suitable for general surgery and plastic surgery workflows, it can help teams maintain organized exposure during tasks that require measured retraction and careful instrument handling. Its compact format is useful where access, visibility, and responsive control are important.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to support visualization during general surgery procedures.
• Positioning a selected blade for controlled exposure in plastic surgery workflows.
• Using the double-ended configuration to select the blade orientation suited to the operative site.
• Applying measured manual retraction through the flat handle while maintaining access to the field.
