SKU:RM-CTSRR-1

$144USD

The Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor is a compact 4 ¼″ (10.79 cm) hand surgery spreader designed for transverse carpal ligament release. Featuring blunt rounded prongs to protect the median nerve and a mechanical ratchet lock with ergonomic ring handles, it provides hands-free palmar exposure without assistant fatigue.

Product Description

The Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor is a precision-engineered hand and microsurgical retractor designed specifically to provide hands-free, atraumatic wound margin retraction during carpal tunnel release surgery. By securing palmar cutaneous flaps and subcutaneous fat under steady, locked mechanical tension, this instrument establishes an unobstructed visual field over the flexor retinaculum while eliminating manual assistant fatigue.

Built specifically for the confined anatomy of the hand and wrist, this Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor configuration features a compact 4 ¼-inch (10.79 cm) overall length ($144). Its working ends are equipped with smooth, blunt-tipped prongs engineered to safely displace superficial soft tissues without risk of puncturing the median nerve, its recurrent motor branch, or superficial palmar vascular arches. The integrated mechanical ratchet lock prevents accidental movement during delicate ligament division.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor to strict clinical tolerances, ensuring smooth ratchet action, ergonomic finger-ring leverage, and complete autoclave compatibility for plastic, hand, and orthopedic surgery centers worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor?

The Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Smooth blunt prongs designed to displace tissue atraumatically without nerve puncture, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic finger-ring handles designed to maximize leverage and minimize wrist strain, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 4 ¼″ (10.79 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor used for?

The Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor is used in open hand surgery to retract palmar skin and subcutaneous tissue laterally, exposing the transverse carpal ligament while protecting the underlying median nerve.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for open carpal tunnel release, revision median nerve neurolysis, flexor synovectomy, trigger finger release, and palmoplantar cyst excisions.

What material and finish are used?

The instrument is forged from high-tensile surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating loupes and headlights.

Is the Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Carpal Tunnel Self-Retaining Retractor is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F). The box lock hinge and ratchet teeth should be lubricated periodically.

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is a one-piece hinged self-retaining instrument, it is supplied as a complete standalone unit. Hand surgery centers can order multiple units as open-stock inventory.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom prong curvatures, alternative frame spreads, and laser marking for hospital asset tracking upon request.

What is the standard lead time and delivery timeframe for orders?

In-stock instruments take 5 business days to inspect and dispatch, followed by 7 business days for worldwide express delivery. Back-order units take 17 to 20 business days to manufacture and 9 business days for delivery.
