Volkman Surgical Retractor 18.0 mm Blade 21.6 cm (8.5)

Controlled Retraction with Focused Prong Engagement

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support operative exposure during procedures. Its four sharp prongs provide focused engagement, while the 18.0 mm width offers a defined working profile for positioning within the surgical field. Measuring 8 1/2 inches, it provides useful reach for general handling, and the finger ring handle supports a deliberate grip during placement and adjustment. This configuration can fit a range of workflows, including cardiovascular, general surgery, orthopedic, and plastic surgery applications, where controlled retraction and clear access are important.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative exposure during general surgery procedures.
• Assist with focused retraction around access sites in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Provide targeted engagement when positioning tissue during orthopedic procedures.
• Support controlled exposure in plastic surgery procedures where a defined retractor profile is useful.
