Kuemmel Retractor Flexible

Description

Kuemmel Retractor Flexible

The Kuemmel retractor in this flexible version pairs a 28 cm length with a broad blade. It helps hold back tissue across a large open field.

A broad 100 x 45 mm blade

The blade measures 100 x 45 mm, so it covers a wide area of tissue. As a result, it spreads pressure instead of focusing it on one point. That suits soft organs and thick wound walls.

Flexible pattern

This model belongs to the flexible branch of the Kuemmel family. However, it still offers a firm, controlled hold in the hand. Surgeons choose it when a rigid blade feels too unforgiving.

A long 28 cm reach

At 28 cm, the instrument reaches down into deeper cavities. Meanwhile, the assistant keeps hands well clear of the field. Then the surgeon gets an uncluttered view.

Where it fits

Open abdominal and other large-cavity procedures suit this broad tool. Also, it pairs well with narrower hand retractors for detailed exposure. So a Kuemmel retractor often anchors one side while others adjust.

Reprocessing Kuemmel retractor

Handle the blade gently during cleaning to protect its shape. Next, wash both faces with a soft brush and check for residue near the edges. Finally, dry it thoroughly and lay it flat in the tray.
