Taylor Surgical Retractor 19.1 cm (7.5)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Taylor spinal retractor is a hand-held instrument designed to hold tissue aside and support exposure during open surgical procedures. Its 7 1/2-inch length provides practical reach, while the 1 1/8-inch-wide by 3-inch-deep blunt blade is shaped for focused retraction and controlled positioning. The flat handle offers a straightforward handhold for adjustments during the procedure. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery applications, this retractor supports organized access and visualization in workflows where dependable manual tissue retraction is required. Its blunt tip and defined blade dimensions help teams select an instrument that matches the intended approach and available working space.

Use Cases

• Support manual tissue retraction during general surgery procedures requiring a focused blade profile.
• Assist with exposure and access in neurosurgical workflows where a spinal retractor is appropriate.
• Position the blunt blade to maintain a retracted area while the surgical team works within the operative field.
• Use the flat handle for controlled placement and adjustment during open surgical exposure.
