Taylor Surgical Retractor 18.4 cm (7.2)

Controlled Retraction for Focused Operative Access

The Taylor spinal retractor is a hand-held retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support access during operative exposure. Its 7 1/4-inch length, 1 1/4-inch width, 4-inch depth, and flat handle define a practical profile for controlled positioning around the surgical field. In General Surgery, it can support hands-on retraction where a broad working profile is useful; in Neurosurgery, its spinal retractor design can assist exposure workflows requiring deliberate placement and handling. The flat handle provides a straightforward grasping surface for repositioning between steps, helping the instrument fit naturally into focused, instrument-intensive procedures.

Use Cases

• Support manual tissue retraction during General Surgery procedures requiring access to the operative field.
• Assist exposure workflows in Neurosurgery where a spinal retractor is selected for deliberate placement and positioning.
• Use the 4-inch depth to maintain a defined working profile within the surgical field.
• Reposition the instrument by its flat handle as procedural access requirements change.
• Support focused spinal exposure tasks within retractor-based surgical workflows.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the retractor according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the working profile and flat handle before and after use for visible soil, damage, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the instrument carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect its shaped retractor profile.
• Store in a manner that prevents contact damage and keeps the instrument ready for the next procedure.
