Volkman Surgical Retractor 40.0 mm Blade 4.0 cm (1.6)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Secure Handling

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support working access during procedures. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the ring handle offers a familiar grasp for controlled positioning and adjustment. Six sharp prongs across a 40.0mm width help engage tissue at the retraction point, supporting clear operative access without adding unnecessary instrument complexity. This configuration is suitable for varied procedural workflows, including cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic applications, where dependable handling and a focused retraction profile are important.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to maintain access and visibility during general surgery procedures.
• Supporting controlled exposure in cardiovascular operative workflows where a hand-held retractor is appropriate.
• Assisting with localized tissue retraction during orthopedic procedures.
• Using the ring handle to position or adjust the instrument with a steady, deliberate grip.
• Applying the six-prong configuration where focused engagement across a 40mm width is required.
