Crile Surgical Retractor 11.4 cm (4.5)

Compact Double-Ended Retraction for Controlled Surgical Access

The 4 3/8" Crile Retractor double ended is a compact manual retractor designed to help maintain exposure during surgical procedures. Its two-ended configuration gives the surgical team access to different retraction surfaces within one instrument, supporting practical handling when working through limited operative spaces. The 4.375" overall length provides a short reach suited to close, controlled manipulation in General Surgery and Neurosurgery settings. By combining a familiar retractor form with a double-ended design, this instrument can help streamline instrument selection and support clear visualization while tissue is held aside during the procedure.

Use Cases

• Assist with manual tissue retraction to help maintain a visible operative field during General Surgery procedures.
• Support controlled, close-range retraction where the compact 4.375" length is appropriate.
• Use either end according to the retraction surface and access needs of the operative site.
• Provide a practical hand-held retraction option for Neurosurgery workflows requiring careful exposure support.
• Keep two retraction ends available in one instrument during procedures where access requirements may change.
