Adson Surgical Retractor Angled 19.1 cm (7.5)

Controlled, Self-Retaining Cerebellar Retraction

The Adson self-retaining cerebellar retractor is designed to hold tissue aside during general surgery while helping maintain a stable retraction position. Its 7 1/2-inch length provides useful reach within the operative field, while the angled profile supports approach around anatomical structures. Four-by-four sharp prongs engage the retraction site, and the ring handle with ratchet allows the instrument to remain set without continuous manual squeezing. This configuration supports organized instrument handling and sustained access during procedures requiring cerebellar retraction. Its self-retaining design can help keep the operative workspace more consistent while the surgical team performs related tasks.

Use Cases

• Retracting cerebellar tissue to help maintain access to the operative field.
• Using the angled profile to approach and hold tissue where a straight instrument may be less convenient.
• Applying controlled retraction with the 4x4 sharp prongs at the selected tissue edge.
• Setting and maintaining the retractor position through the ring handle and ratchet during a procedure.
• Supporting general-surgery workflows that require a self-retaining retractor rather than continuous hand-held positioning.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp prongs, angled retractor profile, ring handle, and ratchet for damage, deformation, or impaired movement before reuse.
• Handle the sharp prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect personnel and the instrument.
• Store the retractor securely so the prongs and ratchet are not subjected to unnecessary impact or pressure.
