Controlled Retraction with Angled Access and a Practical Flat Handle

The blade retractor is a hand-held surgical instrument used to hold tissue or wound edges aside during procedures, helping maintain access to the operative field. Its 7-inch length and angled 18.0 mm-wide blade support deliberate positioning where a compact, defined retraction surface is useful. The flat handle provides a straightforward gripping area, while the blade is designed without a lip for a simple profile. This specialty-neutral retractor can support instrument setups across General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedic workflows, with its angled form offering a practical option for positioning around the surgical site without adding unnecessary design features.

Use Cases

• Use for manual retraction of tissue or wound edges during General Surgery procedures.
• Position to help maintain access and visualization in Neurosurgery workflows where controlled hand-held retraction is required.
• Support Orthopedic procedures requiring a compact, angled blade for access around the operative area.
• Use the flat handle for direct manual positioning and adjustment during surgical exposure.
• Select the 7-inch format when a hand-held retractor with an 18.0 mm-wide blade is appropriate for the procedure setup.
