Taylor Surgical Retractor 18.4 cm (7.2)

Controlled Retraction for Accessible Spinal Exposure

The Taylor spinal retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to support controlled tissue retraction and maintain working access during procedures. Its 7 1/4-inch length, 1 1/4-inch width, 5-inch depth, and flat handle provide a defined profile for positioning within the operative field while allowing the user to manage the instrument directly. The retractor may support practical workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery where steady exposure and careful instrument handling are required. Its straightforward configuration helps clinicians position the working end and adjust retraction as procedural needs change, without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Support controlled retraction during spinal and related exposure procedures.
• Assist General Surgery workflows that require direct, hand-held tissue retraction.
• Support Neurosurgery procedures where a defined retractor profile can help maintain access to the operative field.
• Position the instrument manually when adjusting exposure during a surgical task.
• Use the flat handle to maintain direct handling while the retractor is placed and repositioned.
