• Broad Surface Retention: With a blade width of 21 mm, the retractor distributes holding and traction pressure over a larger area, minimizing cutting into sensitive structures while ensuring firm grip in resistant tissue.

• Versatile Application: The compact length of 13.0 cm makes this instrument the perfect all-rounder for procedures on superficial to medium-depth body regions – from head surgery to extremity treatment.

• Precise Tension Control: The finely graduated ratchet mechanism allows exact dosing of the retraction force and securely fixes the instrument in the desired position – for fatigue-free work without additional assistance.

• Optimal Visibility: The fenestrated blade design ensures a good overview of the surgical field at all times, even with more complex approaches.
