Richardson Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Richardson retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support exposure during open procedures. Its 9 1/2-inch overall length provides practical reach, while the 1 1/2-inch-long by 1 1/2-inch-wide blade presents a defined surface for retraction. The hollow grip handle supports familiar instrument handling and can help maintain control during positioning and adjustment. This specialty-neutral design may serve cardiovascular, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows where dependable manual retraction is required. Its standard weight class offers a balanced option for routine instrument handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the operative setup.

• Support tissue retraction and maintain exposure during open general surgery procedures.
• Assist with controlled access and visualization in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Provide manual retraction support during neurosurgical procedures where a handheld instrument is appropriate.
• Help hold tissue aside during orthopedic procedures requiring open surgical exposure.
