Kolbel Surgical Retractor 14.0 cm (5.5)

Hinged Self-Retaining Support for Controlled Surgical Exposure

The Kolbel self-retaining retractor frame only, fitted with 5 1/2" hinged arms, is a retractor component intended to support hands-free tissue retraction during operative exposure. Its hinged-arm design allows practical positioning around the surgical field while keeping the frame focused on stable retractor setup and access. Supplied as the frame only, it can serve as a focused component within appropriate retractor workflows across General Surgery, Orthopedic procedures, and Surgical Retractors applications. The compact 5 1/2" arm dimension supports handling where a smaller frame configuration is appropriate, subject to the requirements of the procedure and facility protocols.

Use Cases

• General Surgery: position the self-retaining frame to support operative exposure while reducing the need for continuous manual retractor holding.
• Orthopedic procedures: use the hinged-arm frame as part of a retraction setup requiring practical positioning around the operative field.
• Surgical Retractors: incorporate the frame-only component into an appropriate retractor workflow according to facility practice and procedural requirements.
• Adjust the hinged arms to help establish the desired retractor position before and during the procedure.
