Anderson Bear Claw 4 3/4 5 Prong

Five-Prong Retraction for Controlled General Surgery Access

The Anderson Bear Claw 4 3/4" 5 Prong is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue exposure during general surgery procedures. Its five-prong configuration provides multiple contact points for engaging and holding tissue at the operative site, while the 4 3/4" size supports controlled handling in focused surgical fields. The bear-claw design offers a practical option when a surgeon or assistant needs to position tissue aside and preserve working access. Its compact format can support responsive manipulation during procedures where dependable manual retraction and clear visualization are important.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain exposure within a general surgery operative field.
• Using the five-prong configuration to engage tissue across multiple contact points during manual retraction.
• Supporting focused access where a 4 3/4" retractor is appropriate for controlled handling.
• Maintaining a clear working area while an assistant provides steady, hands-on retraction.
