Hayes hand retractor 6 6.0mm wide blade flat handle

Controlled Access for Precise Retraction

The Hayes hand retractor is a 6-inch manual surgical retractor designed to help maintain access and visibility by holding tissue or wound edges aside during a procedure. Its 6.0mm-wide blade provides a defined contact area for focused retraction, while the flat handle supports straightforward hand positioning and instrument control. The compact format can be useful when working within confined operative fields, including general surgery and orthopedic procedures. As a hand-held instrument, it supports active adjustment as the surgical site or exposure requirements change, helping integrate retraction into a controlled, responsive workflow.

Use Cases

• Use as a hand-held retractor to help maintain exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Support focused retraction of tissue or wound edges where a narrow 6.0mm blade is appropriate.
• Assist with access and visualization in orthopedic procedures requiring manually controlled retraction.
• Adjust retraction position during a procedure using the flat handle for direct hand control.
