Volkman Surgical Retractor 11.0 mm Blade 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Secure Handling

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support exposure during operative work. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the USA pattern and ring handle support deliberate positioning and controlled manipulation by the user. Two sharp prongs, measuring 11mm in width, are suited to focused engagement where a narrow retraction point is preferred. This configuration can support access and visualization across cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic workflows, helping teams select a straightforward instrument for tasks that call for stable, localized retraction without adding unnecessary complexity to the hand technique.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during general surgery procedures where focused engagement is required.
• Assist exposure in cardiovascular surgical workflows when a hand-held, narrow-point retractor is appropriate.
• Provide targeted retraction during orthopedic procedures involving access around anatomical structures.
• Use the ring handle to position and adjust the instrument with deliberate hand control during operative exposure.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp prongs before and after use for damage, deformation, or loss of alignment.
• Handle the prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the working ends.
• Store the instrument securely so the prongs and ring handle are protected from unnecessary impact or contact.
