Smillie Surgical Retractor Curved 18.0 mm Blade 14.0 cm (5.5)

Controlled Retraction for General and Orthopedic Surgical Workflows

The Smillie knee retractor is a manually handled surgical retractor designed to support tissue retraction and maintain access during operative work. Its fully curved 13.0 mm x 18.0 mm blade provides a defined contact profile, while the flat handle offers a straightforward grip for controlled positioning and repositioning. At 5 1/2 inches, the instrument suits focused retraction tasks where compact handling and access are important. It can support exposure-related tasks across General Surgery and Orthopedic workflows, giving clinicians a practical instrument for managing access while keeping handling simple and deliberate.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with exposure and access during Orthopedic surgical workflows involving the knee or nearby operative areas.
• Position the curved blade to maintain a focused retraction point during hands-on surgical tasks.
• Use the flat handle for controlled placement, adjustment, and removal of the retractor.
• Apply as part of a manual retraction setup when a compact 5 1/2-inch instrument is appropriate.
