Volkman Surgical Retractor 18.0 mm Blade 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to draw tissue aside and support exposure during procedures. Its 8 3/4-inch length provides practical reach, while the USA pattern and ring handle support controlled positioning during active surgical handling. Three blunt prongs offer a defined contact configuration for retraction tasks where a blunt tip profile is preferred. Suitable for workflows across cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic settings, this retractor can help organize access and visualization without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue to help maintain a working view during general surgery procedures.
• Support exposure and controlled access in cardiovascular surgical workflows.
• Assist with positioning tissue around orthopedic operative sites.
• Use the ring handle for deliberate manual placement and adjustment during retraction.
• Apply the three-prong configuration when a blunt retractor tip is appropriate for the task.
