Koerte Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Controlled Retraction With Practical Reach and Grip

The Koerte retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor used to hold tissue or wound edges aside during procedures, helping maintain access and visualization within the operative field. Its 9 1/2-inch length supports reach while the finger ring handle provides a defined point of control during placement and adjustment. Eight sharp prongs provide a structured contact pattern for retraction tasks appropriate to the instrument’s design. This retractor can support workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, and neurosurgery settings where controlled manual retraction is required, subject to clinician judgment and facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue or wound edges to help maintain access and visualization during general surgery procedures.
• Support controlled exposure tasks in cardiovascular surgical workflows where a hand-held, pronged retractor is appropriate.
• Assist with localized retraction during neurosurgical procedures when the instrument’s size, sharp prongs, and finger ring handle suit the operative task.
• Use the finger ring handle to position, adjust, and remove the retractor with deliberate manual control.
• Apply the eight-prong configuration for structured contact during suitable retraction tasks.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp prongs, finger ring handle, and working surfaces for damage, deformation, or residue before each use.
• Handle the prongs carefully during transport, cleaning, and storage to help protect their working edges and prevent contact damage.
• Store the retractor securely so the prongs are protected and the instrument remains readily identifiable for the next procedure.
