Description

Freeman Retractor 4 Prongs with 2 Recessed Prongs

This Freeman recessed prong retractor carries four sharp prongs in a row. The two middle prongs sit back from the others, so the tissue edge rests evenly.

Why recess two prongs

Full-length prongs can dig into the centre of a flap. Here, the outer prongs take the load first. Consequently, the skin edge sees less point pressure.

Width choices for the Freeman recessed prong retractor

You can order 22 mm or 38 mm. In addition, the 22 mm suits small incisions on the face. Meanwhile, the 38 mm spreads a wider edge in breast work.

Who reaches for it

Plastic and reconstructive teams use it most. It also appears on facial trauma trays. Also, many surgeons pair it with a standard four-prong Freeman.

Pairing with other retractors

A recessed pattern works well opposite a skin hook. The hook lifts the far edge, while the prongs steady the near one. Together they open a small incision into a clear window with very little bruising.

Protecting sharp prongs

Clean the prongs with a soft brush, never a wire one. Dry the retractor fully. Then store it with a tip guard on.
