Richardson Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Focused Retraction with a Lightweight, Easy-to-Handle Profile

The Richardson retractor is a hand-held general surgery instrument designed to retract tissue and support exposure of the operative field. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides practical reach for controlled manual positioning, while the 1-inch-long by 3/4-inch-wide blade presents a compact working profile for localized retraction. The lightweight grip handle is intended to make repeated handling more manageable during procedures that require the instrument to be placed, adjusted, and held by hand. For surgical teams, this configuration combines a familiar Richardson pattern with dimensions suited to focused access and organized instrument handling, without adding unnecessary complexity to the task.

Use Cases

• Manually retract tissue to help maintain access to a localized surgical area.
• Support operative-field exposure during general surgery procedures requiring hand-controlled retraction.
• Use the compact blade profile for focused placement where a 1-inch-long by 3/4-inch-wide blade is appropriate.
• Position and adjust the retractor by hand using the lightweight grip handle during active surgical workflows.

Specifications
