Cummings Surgical Retractor 5.5 mm Blade 12.0 cm (4.7)

Controlled Retraction with Clear, Low-Glare Handling

The Cummings universal retractor is a small, double-ended hand retractor designed to assist with controlled tissue retraction during general surgery. Its 4 3/4-inch length supports close, deliberate handling, while the 5.5mm-wide blade provides a narrow contact profile for work in confined operative areas. The flat handle offers a straightforward grasping surface for positioning and adjustment, and the ebonized finish is intended to reduce glare that may distract from the operative field. With two ends in one instrument, it supports practical intraoperative flexibility while helping keep the instrument setup compact.

Use Cases

• Assist with localized tissue retraction during general surgical procedures.
• Use the narrow 5.5mm blade when access requires a compact retraction profile.
• Select between the double-ended working ends as the operative exposure or handling need changes.
• Use the 4 3/4-inch instrument for close, controlled manipulation near the surgical field.
• Position the flat handle for direct adjustment during retraction and exposure tasks.
