Markham-Meyerding self-retaining hemilaminextomy rectractor 6 3/4 2 1/2x 1wide blade on left side single hook on right side ring handle with ratchet

Controlled Retraction for Hemilaminectomy Access

The Markham-Meyerding self-retaining hemilaminextomy retractor is designed to maintain retraction during hemilaminectomy access while leaving the operator’s hands available for related instrument work. Its 6 3/4-inch length supports practical reach, while the 2 1/2-inch by 1-inch-wide blade provides a defined retraction surface. The left-side blade and single hook on the right create an asymmetric configuration suited to the named design. A ring handle with ratchet supports controlled positioning and helps maintain the selected opening during use, reducing the need for continuous manual holding and supporting an organized operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Maintain self-retaining retraction during hemilaminectomy access.
• Use the left-side 2 1/2-inch by 1-inch-wide blade to provide a defined retraction surface.
• Engage the single right-side hook for the named asymmetric retractor configuration.
