Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Freeman facelift (rhytidectomy) rake retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to support tissue retraction and exposure during soft-tissue procedures. Its 7-inch length provides practical reach, while four sharp, in-line prongs engage tissue for controlled positioning. The 38.0 mm wide blade and flat handle support a balanced, straightforward grip during handling. Used in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, it is especially suited to facelift and rhytidectomy workflows where organized retraction can help maintain access and visualization. Its focused rake configuration offers a practical option for controlled exposure without adding unnecessary instrument complexity.

Use Cases

• Supporting tissue retraction during facelift and rhytidectomy procedures.
• Maintaining access and visualization during Plastic Surgery soft-tissue workflows.
• Providing focused retraction during applicable General Surgery procedures.
• Using the flat handle to position and control the retractor during manual handling.
