Richardson Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Richardson retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue or wound margins aside while supporting visualization of the operative field. Its 9 1/2-inch overall length provides useful reach for working access, while the 1 1/4-inch-long by 1-inch-wide blade offers a defined contact surface for controlled placement. A lightweight grip handle supports routine instrument handling during procedures. Suitable for surgical retraction workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic settings, it provides a familiar, manually controlled option for teams seeking straightforward access and dependable instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Support manual retraction and exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Provide a hand-held retraction option for cardiovascular surgical workflows where controlled access is required.
• Assist with operative-field exposure in neurosurgery settings when a Richardson-style retractor is selected for the procedure.
• Support orthopedic procedures requiring manual separation of tissue or wound margins.
• Use as part of a surgical retractor set when a defined blade and extended handle are appropriate for the task.
