Mayo Surgical Retractor 17.1 cm (6.7)

Controlled Retraction for Focused Surgical Access

The Mayo-Adams appendectomy retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to help maintain tissue separation during appendectomy and other procedures requiring focused exposure. Its two blunt prongs support controlled engagement, while the ring handle provides a defined gripping point for repositioning during use. With an overall length of 6 3/4 inches, it offers a compact format for access-focused handling in General Surgery workflows. As part of the Surgical Retractors category, it may also support appropriately selected retraction tasks in Neurosurgery and other procedural settings where its size, blunt-prong configuration, and manual control suit the application.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and exposure during appendectomy procedures.
• Use the two blunt prongs for controlled engagement when maintaining a localized operative view.
• Handle and reposition the instrument through its ring handle during General Surgery workflows.
• Consider for selected Neurosurgery retraction tasks when the instrument's compact length and blunt-prong design are appropriate.
• Apply within Surgical Retractors workflows that require a manually controlled, focused retraction instrument.
