Benefits of the Parker Retractor FIG-1:
• Excellent Non-Slip Grip: The fine serration provides a secure grip on the skin, even under wet or bloody conditions, and prevents unwanted slipping during suturing.
• Atraumatic Design: The blunt tip protects the epidermis from perforation or tears, while the serration minimizes the required pressure and avoids crushing.
• Precise Wound Edge Control: Enables exact holding and positioning of skin edges for perfect, tension-free adaptation – crucial for cosmetic results.
• Ideal for One-Handed or Assisted Use: Perfectly suited when the surgeon holds one side of the wound and sutures with the other hand, or during assisted retraction.
• Standard Instrument in Dermatology: An indispensable single instrument for skin excisions, biopsies, and plastic closures in dermatological and general surgical practices.
