Murphy ball retractor 14 angled 60° 2.0mm ball tip flat handle

Angled Ball-Tip Reach for Controlled Retraction

The Murphy ball retractor is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to support tissue retraction during operative handling. Its 14-inch length provides extended reach, while the 60º angled shaft positions the 2.0 mm ball tip for access from a practical working angle. The flat handle offers a straightforward gripping surface for controlled manual positioning. Together, these design features help the user place the retractor where needed while maintaining a clear, organized field of work. The compact ball tip is suited to focused contact, and the angled configuration supports access around structures that may be difficult to approach with a straight instrument.

Use Cases

• Position the retractor to provide focused tissue retraction during surgical manipulation.
• Use the 60º angled profile to approach the working area from an offset angle.
• Apply the 2.0 mm ball tip where a compact contact point is appropriate for controlled positioning.
• Use the 14-inch length when additional reach is useful during operative handling.
• Grip and reposition the instrument through its flat handle during procedural workflow.
