Ragnell Surgical Retractor 17.0 mm Blade 15.9 cm (6.3)

Two-Ended Access for Controlled General-Surgery Retraction

The Ragnell retractor is a handheld instrument designed to retract tissue and help maintain exposure during general-surgery procedures. Its double-ended configuration provides two blade options in one instrument, including a 3.0 mm x 9.0 mm blade and a broader 5.0 mm x 17.0 mm blade, allowing the user to select the profile suited to the immediate access requirement. At 6 1/4 inches, its compact format supports close, controlled handling in the operative field, while the round handle offers a familiar gripping surface for repositioning during tissue exposure and visualization.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue edges during general-surgery procedures to help maintain access to the operative field.
• Select the narrower 3.0 mm x 9.0 mm blade when a smaller retraction profile is appropriate.
• Use the broader 5.0 mm x 17.0 mm blade when a wider contact area is needed for exposure.
• Reverse the double-ended instrument to adapt blade selection without changing instruments during a procedure.
• Use the round handle for controlled manual positioning and repositioning during surgical exposure.

Care & Handling
