Meyerding Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Meyerding laminectomy retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue separation and support operative access during procedures requiring dependable exposure. Its 9 1/2-inch overall length provides useful reach, while the 5-inch by 1-inch wide blade offers a broad contact profile for positioning. Blade teeth support engagement with the selected tissue edge, and the grip handle promotes controlled handling during placement and adjustment. Although named for laminectomy use, this retractor can also support appropriate retraction tasks across General Surgery, Orthopedic, and Plastic Surgery workflows where its configuration suits the procedure.
