Knapp Surgical Retractor 6.0 mm Blade 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Retraction for Precise Small-Field Access

The Knapp lacrimal sac retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to provide controlled tissue retraction around the lacrimal sac and other confined operative fields. Its 5 1/2-inch rigid shaft supports access where a stable, compact instrument is useful, while four blunt prongs help engage tissue with a less cutting-oriented tip profile. The 6.0 mm width and flat handle provide a defined contact area for positioning and manual control. Appropriate selection may support ophthalmic, ENT, general surgery, plastic surgery, and cardiovascular workflows when a small-field retractor suits the task and facility technique.

Use Cases

• Ophthalmic procedures requiring localized retraction and visualization around the lacrimal sac.
• ENT procedures involving access to compact anatomical fields where a small, blunt-pronged retractor is appropriate.
• General surgery workflows requiring controlled manual tissue retraction in a confined operative area.
• Plastic surgery procedures where focused exposure and deliberate handling are needed in a small surgical field.
• Cardiovascular workflows in which the clinician selects a compact retractor for appropriately scaled, localized tissue handling.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the rigid shaft, four prongs, blunt tips, and flat handle for visible soil, damage, bending, or irregularities before use.
• Handle the prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve their intended alignment and working profile.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the prongs and prevents contact damage from other instruments.
