Hibbs Surgical Retractor 24.1 cm (9.5)

Practical Retraction for General Surgery

The Hibbs retractor is a hand-held surgical retractor designed to support tissue retraction and exposure during general surgery. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides a practical reach for the operative field, while the 2-inch by 3/4-inch-wide blade presents a defined surface for controlled positioning. The flat handle offers a straightforward grip for manual handling and adjustment as exposure needs change. This configuration can help organize retraction during open procedures where dependable instrument placement and clear access are important. Its focused design supports routine surgical workflows without adding unnecessary complexity to instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Position the blade to help maintain access to the operative field.
• Use the 9 1/2-inch length when a practical reach from the handle to the retraction site is needed.
