Kawamoto retractor 6 double-ended 8.0mm wide insulated blades flat handle

Controlled Retraction for Clear, Practical Access

The Kawamoto retractor is a handheld surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support visualization during operative exposure. Its 6-inch length, flat handle, and double-ended configuration provide a practical format for positioning and adjustment in the surgical field, while the 8.0 mm wide insulated blades offer a defined retraction surface. This versatile instrument can support exposure tasks in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, where controlled handling and access are important to the workflow. The two-ended design also allows the appropriate blade profile to be selected during a procedure without changing instruments.
