Richardson Surgical Retractor 3.8 cm (1.5)

Direct Handling for Controlled Surgical Retraction

The Richardson Retractor 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" grip handle is a surgical retractor designed to help hold tissue or surrounding structures aside during procedures, supporting a clearer working area. Its grip-handle format provides a direct point for manual handling as the instrument is positioned, adjusted, or removed. In General Surgery, it can support access and visualization during open procedures; in Neurosurgery, it can be used within appropriate operative workflows where controlled retraction is required. The 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" size offers a defined working profile for instrument selection and setup. Its straightforward design fits routine handling, careful placement, and organized surgical technique.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue or surrounding structures to support access during General Surgery procedures.
• Support operative exposure and visualization when a manually positioned retractor is appropriate.
• Use within Neurosurgery workflows requiring carefully controlled tissue retraction.
• Position, adjust, and remove the instrument using its grip handle during the procedure.
• Incorporate the defined 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" profile into surgical setup and instrument selection.
