Meyerding Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Controlled Retraction with Extended Reach and Secure Handling

The Meyerding laminectomy retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and help maintain working exposure during operative procedures. Its 9 1/2-inch length supports access into the operative field, while the 3 1/2-inch by 2-inch wide blade provides a defined retraction surface. Teeth on the blade can assist with maintaining position during use, and the grip handle supports controlled handling by the surgical team. Suitable for consideration across General Surgery, Orthopedic, and Plastic Surgery workflows, this retractor offers a practical configuration for procedures requiring steady exposure and deliberate instrument positioning.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure during laminectomy procedures.
• Use the wide blade to help maintain access to the working field during applicable General Surgery procedures.
• Support orthopedic procedures requiring a hand-held retractor with extended reach.
• Use in Plastic Surgery workflows where controlled manual retraction is required.
• Handle and reposition the instrument through its grip handle during exposure tasks.
