Volkman Surgical Retractor 8.0 mm Blade 21.6 cm (8.5)

Controlled Retraction with Clear, Practical Handling

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and help maintain an accessible working view during procedures. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while two blunt prongs measuring 8.0mm wide support controlled engagement with the operative field. The finger ring handle offers a defined grasp for positioning and adjustment during use. Suitable for workflows across cardiovascular, general, orthopedic, and plastic surgery, this retractor supports focused tissue retraction where a compact, manually controlled instrument is preferred. Its straightforward configuration also helps clinicians recognize the instrument quickly during setup and handling.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to support exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Maintaining a manually controlled field of view during cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Holding tissue aside during orthopedic procedures where focused retraction is required.
• Supporting localized retraction in plastic surgery procedures.
• Using the finger ring handle to position and adjust the retractor during operative handling.
