Markham-Meyerding self-retaining hemilaminextomy rectractor 6 3/4 2 1/2x 1wide blade on right side single hook on left side ring handle with ratchet

Self-Retaining Retraction with Controlled, Accessible Handling

The Markham-Meyerding self-retaining hemilaminectomy retractor is designed to maintain tissue retraction during hemilaminectomy procedures, helping keep the operative area accessible while the user works. Its 6 3/4-inch length supports practical reach, while the 2 1/2-inch by 1-inch-wide blade provides a defined retraction surface. The right-side blade, single left-side hook, and ring handle with ratchet create a distinct configuration for positioning and adjustment. As a self-retaining instrument, it can help reduce the need for continuous manual holding, supporting a more organized handling workflow during exposure and access tasks.

Use Cases

• Maintaining retraction during hemilaminectomy procedures.
• Positioning the right-side blade to support access to the operative area.
• Using the single left-side hook for a defined point of engagement.
• Adjusting and maintaining instrument position through the ring handle and ratchet.
