Knapp Surgical Retractor 6.0 mm Blade 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Retraction for Focused Lacrimal Access

The Knapp lacrimal sac retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to provide localized tissue retraction during procedures requiring access around the lacrimal sac. Its 5 1/2-inch rigid shaft supports controlled positioning, while four sharp prongs help engage tissue at the working tip. The 6.0 mm width and flat handle provide a compact profile for deliberate instrument handling in confined operative fields. This configuration can support organized access and visualization across ophthalmic, ENT, general surgery, plastic surgery, and cardiovascular workflows when localized retraction is required, without limiting use to a single specialty.

Use Cases

• Use for localized retraction during ophthalmic procedures involving access around the lacrimal sac.
• Support ENT procedures requiring focused exposure in the lacrimal or adjacent nasal region.
• Provide controlled tissue retraction during general surgical workflows where a compact, pronged retractor is appropriate.
• Assist plastic surgery procedures requiring localized exposure and deliberate instrument positioning.
• Use as part of cardiovascular or other specialty instrument sets when the procedure calls for focused, hand-held retraction.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the four sharp prongs, rigid shaft, and handle for damage, distortion, or surface changes before and after use.
• Handle the pronged tip carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the working ends and adjacent instruments.
• Store the retractor securely so the sharp prongs are protected from contact with other instruments.
