Volkman Surgical Retractor 42.0 mm Blade 4.2 cm (1.7)

Controlled Retraction with Blunt, Ring-Handle Grip

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue or wound edges aside during procedures that require a clearer working field. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides practical reach, while the 42.0mm width and eight blunt prongs support broad, controlled contact during positioning. The finger ring handle offers a defined grip for placement and adjustment as the operative view changes. Suitable for consideration across cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic workflows, this retractor can support exposure tasks where a manually positioned instrument and blunt prong configuration are appropriate.

Use Cases

• Assist with manually holding tissue or wound edges aside during general surgery exposure tasks.
• Support retraction and working-field access in cardiovascular procedures where a blunt-pronged hand retractor is appropriate.
• Use during orthopedic procedures requiring manually positioned retraction around the operative site.
• Position the eight blunt prongs to help maintain a selected area of exposure while the instrument is held by its finger ring handle.

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor in accordance with facility protocols and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the blunt prongs, 42mm retractor width, and finger ring handle before and after use for visible damage or distortion.
• Handle the prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve their configuration.
• Store the instrument so the prongs and handle are protected from contact with other instruments that could cause damage.
