Volkman Surgical Retractor 26.0 mm Blade 22.5 cm (9)

Controlled Exposure with a Blunt, Ring-Handle Retractor

The Volkman retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to help maintain exposure by drawing tissue or wound edges aside during procedures. Its 8 3/4-inch length supports access within the operative field, while the USA pattern, four blunt prongs, and 26.0 mm-wide ring handle provide a defined configuration for controlled manual positioning. The blunt tip profile is suited to workflows where a less pointed contact design is preferred. Its straightforward form can support organized handling and visualization across cardiovascular, general surgery, and orthopedic settings, subject to the procedure and facility technique.

Use Cases

• Support tissue or wound-edge retraction during general surgery procedures requiring manually maintained exposure.
• Assist with access and visualization in cardiovascular operative workflows where a hand-held retractor is appropriate.
• Provide manual retraction support during orthopedic procedures involving exposure of the operative area.
• Use the ring handle to position and adjust the instrument during controlled surgical handling.
• Apply the four blunt prongs where the named blunt-prong configuration suits the intended retraction task.
