Benefits of the SENN-GREEN Retractor:

• Two-in-One Functionality: One instrument provides two distinct retraction options – quickly interchangeable by a simple rotation in the hand.
• Broad, Superficial Exposure: The flat, wide blade (10mm x 6mm) is ideal for the gentle retraction of wound edges and superficial tissue over a larger area.
• 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.
