Description

The Charnley Vertical Retractor is a self-retaining surgical retractor designed to provide stable tissue retraction and excellent operative exposure during orthopedic, spinal, trauma, and reconstructive procedures. Its vertical frame configuration allows effective tissue separation while minimizing interference within the surgical field, making it particularly useful when unobstructed access is required.

The instrument features opposing 3 × 4 sharp prongs that provide firm tissue engagement and dependable retraction throughout the procedure. The sharp-prong design helps maintain secure positioning within soft tissue and fascia, allowing consistent exposure even during prolonged operations. The retractor incorporates a blade depth of 22 mm, providing effective tissue purchase while maintaining precise control of the operative field.

With an overall length of 24.5 cm (9½”), the Charnley Vertical Retractor offers substantial reach and leverage for deeper surgical exposures. The integrated ratchet locking mechanism allows precise adjustment of retraction width and maintains stable tissue separation without continuous manual assistance. Its self-retaining design improves workflow efficiency and reduces the need for additional retraction support.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, every Charnley Vertical Retractor undergoes stringent quality control inspection to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. Its vertical frame design, sharp-prong configuration, and reliable self-retaining functionality make it an essential instrument for orthopedic and spinal surgery.
