Self-Retaining Retractor, 10 cm, 4×4 Teeth

Description

Self-Retaining Retractor, 10 cm, 4×4 Teeth

This small self-retaining retractor measures 10 cm and has 4 x 4 teeth. Choose sharp or blunt teeth.

Small and simple

This short spreader suits small superficial incisions, such as minor skin and soft tissue work. Because it is short, it sits close to the wound and leaves the field open. So it stays out of the surgeon’s way.

Four teeth per side

Four teeth on each arm spread the grip across the wound edge. As a result, the hold stays even. Also, the layout suits skin and shallow tissue in minor procedures.

Sharp or blunt

Sharp teeth bite firmly and resist slipping. By contrast, blunt teeth press rather than pierce. Therefore, pick blunt teeth near delicate structures.

Similar options

We also carry the Alm at the same length with 4 x 4 teeth. However, this generic self-retaining retractor at 10 cm suits teams that do not need a named pattern. So compare both before you order.

Reprocessing self-retaining retractor 10 cm

Wash between the eight teeth with a small brush and warm water. Then open the arms wide and rinse the joint area under running water. Finally, dry it and store sharp and blunt versions apart so staff can tell them apart.
