Taylor Surgical Retractor 18.4 cm (7.2)

Controlled Access for General and Neurosurgical Exposure

The Taylor spinal retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain access and support visualization during procedures requiring localized tissue retraction. Its 7 1/4-inch length, 3/4-inch width, 4-inch depth, and flat handle provide a defined profile for positioning within the operative field. The instrument can support practical exposure tasks in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery, including spinal approaches and other procedures where steady retraction is required. Its straightforward configuration helps the surgical team handle, position, and remove the retractor as workflow needs change.

Use Cases

• Support localized retraction during spinal surgical approaches.
• Assist Neurosurgery teams with maintaining access and visualization around the operative site.
• Support General Surgery procedures requiring a hand-held retractor for tissue displacement.
• Position the flat handle for controlled manual handling during exposure tasks.
• Use the defined 4-inch depth where the named retractor dimensions suit the required operative access.
