Volkman Surgical Retractor 10.0 mm Blade 11.4 cm (4.5)

Controlled Retraction with a Secure Ring Handle

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain localized tissue exposure during procedures. Its 4 1/2-inch length supports controlled access in compact operative fields, while three sharp prongs provide a defined point of engagement for retraction. The 10.0mm-wide ring handle offers a familiar gripping format for steady instrument positioning and adjustment. Suitable for varied procedural workflows, this retractor can support access and visualization tasks in cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic settings. Its straightforward configuration helps teams select a practical instrument for focused, manually controlled retraction.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during general surgery procedures where a compact hand-held instrument is appropriate.
• Assist with exposure and access tasks in cardiovascular surgical workflows requiring manually positioned retraction.
• Provide focused retraction support during orthopedic procedures and other operative tasks involving targeted tissue exposure.
• Use the ring handle to position and adjust the retractor with a controlled hand grip during the procedure.
