The Crile Retractor Double-Ended is a compact 4 ¼″ (10.8 cm) surgical instrument designed for superficial and intermediate wound margin exposure.

Product Description

The Crile Retractor Double-Ended is an essential handheld surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide reliable, multi-depth soft-tissue and wound margin exposure during minor general, plastic, and reconstructive procedures. Designed with two distinct, oppositely oriented right-angled blades on a single compact chassis, this retractor allows surgical teams to transition instantly between shallow subcutaneous tissue retraction and deeper fascial elevation.

Built for exceptional agility in restricted surgical spaces, this Crile Retractor Double-Ended model features an overall length of 4 ¼ inches (10.8 cm). The instrument is offered in two standardized style configurations: Style #1 ($29), featuring 11 mm × 3 mm (1/8″ × 7/16″) and 20 mm × 6 mm (1/4″ × 13/16″) blades, and Style #2 ($35), featuring 1/4″ × 1/2″ and 3/8″ × 7/8″ blades. The smooth, rounded blade margins prevent tissue trauma, while the central handle provides a fatigue-free grip for operating assistants.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Crile Retractor Double-Ended to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, excellent manual balance, and complete clinical durability for outpatient clinics and operating rooms worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Crile Retractor Double-Ended?

The Crile Retractor Double-Ended is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Oppositely oriented right-angled blades with smooth atraumatic lips, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 4 ¼″ (10.8 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 Crile Retractor Double-Ended used for?

The Crile Retractor Double-Ended is used in surgical procedures to hold open skin edges, subcutaneous tissue, and small muscle groups, providing clear visualization of underlying anatomy across varying incision depths.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for minor excisions, lipoma and cyst removals, carpal tunnel surgery, facial plastic surgery, thyroidectomy, hernia repair, and superficial wound closure.

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 operating room lighting.

Is the Crile Retractor Double-Ended reusable and autoclavable?

Yes. The entire Crile Retractor Double-Ended is 100% reusable and fully validated for pre-vacuum steam autoclave cycles (134°C / 273°F).

Can components and blades be ordered separately?
