The Volkman retractor 4 1/2" 4 sharp prongs 13.0mm wide ring handle is a handheld surgical retractor designed to draw tissue aside and help maintain working access during open procedures.

The 4 1/2" size offers a compact format for focused access, and the 13.0mm width provides a clear, consistent working profile. Suitable for cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic workflows, it supports practical exposure and instrument handling across varied operative settings.
