Crile Surgical Retractor 10.8 cm (4.2)

Two Blade Profiles for Versatile General Surgical Retraction

The Crile retractor is a double-ended hand retractor designed to support tissue retraction and exposure during general surgery. Its 4 1/4-inch length provides a compact format for controlled handling in the operative field, while the two blade profiles offer options for different access and retraction requirements. One end measures 1/4 x 1/2 inch and the other 3/8 x 7/8 inch, allowing the instrument to be selected and oriented according to the task at hand. This configuration helps bring practical versatility to procedures where clear visualization and careful tissue handling are important.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue manually during general surgical procedures.
• Use the smaller 1/4 x 1/2 inch blade where a narrower retraction profile is appropriate.
• Use the 3/8 x 7/8 inch blade when a broader contact area is needed for the task.
• Turn the double-ended instrument to select the blade profile suited to the operative approach.
• Support localized exposure in procedures requiring a compact hand retractor.
