• Precise Deep Retraction: The sharp, slender blade allows for targeted engagement of deeper tissue layers or for dissecting underneath structures.
• Universal Application: An indispensable basic instrument in general surgery, orthopaedics, dermatology, gynaecology, and urology.
• Easy Handling: The balanced design allows for effortless, fatigue-free use.
