Description

The Travers Self Retaining Retractor is a self-retaining surgical instrument designed to provide reliable tissue retraction and sustained exposure during plastic, reconstructive, orthopedic, and general surgical procedures. Its self-retaining mechanism maintains tissue separation without continuous manual assistance, allowing improved operative efficiency and visibility throughout surgery.

The instrument features opposing 4 × 5 blunt prongs with a prong depth of 26 mm, providing secure tissue engagement while minimizing unnecessary trauma to surrounding structures. The blunt-prong design allows atraumatic soft tissue handling while maintaining stable retraction, making the instrument suitable for procedures requiring prolonged exposure.

With an overall length of 20 cm (8″), this retractor offers excellent reach, leverage, and maneuverability. The ratchet locking mechanism enables precise adjustment of retraction width and maintains consistent tissue separation throughout the procedure. Its balanced frame design provides reliable performance while minimizing obstruction of the operative field.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Travers S/R Retractor undergoes stringent quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Its deep blunt prongs and self-retaining functionality make it a valuable instrument for procedures requiring stable tissue exposure.
