Adson Surgical Retractor 19.1 cm (7.5)

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Adson cerebellar retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to maintain tissue displacement and support access within the operative field. Its 7 1/2-inch length provides practical reach, while the 4x4 sharp-prong configuration is suited to engaging tissue during controlled retraction. A 5 1/2-inch spread and ring handle with ratchet support positioning and sustained handling without requiring continuous manual squeezing. This configuration can serve general surgery workflows and neurosurgical applications where organized exposure and dependable instrument control are important. Use the retractor according to the intended technique, tissue considerations, and facility protocols.
