Army Navy Surgical Retractor 20.9 cm (8.2)

Practical Retraction Support for Surgical Exposure

The 8 1/4" Army Navy Retractor pair of 2 is a surgical retractor intended to help maintain access and visualization by holding tissue away from the operative field. Supplied as a pair, it supports coordinated handling when two instruments are needed during exposure, positioning, or reassessment. Its named 8 1/4" size provides a defined instrument length for routine handling in General Surgery and Neurosurgery settings, while the familiar Army Navy retractor format fits workflows that require practical, direct retraction. Use it as part of a controlled technique and facility-approved instrument process, selecting the approach and handling method appropriate to the procedure.

Use Cases

• Support tissue retraction and operative-field access during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with exposure and visualization tasks where a handheld retractor is appropriate.
• Use as a pair when coordinated retraction is needed during positioning or reassessment.
• Include in Neurosurgery workflows requiring practical instrument support for controlled exposure.
