Desai Self Retaining Retractor

The Desai 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 Dual-loop open fenestrated blade bent at 90 degrees for direct through-blade tissue access, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. An overall length of 7.25″ (18.41 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.

The Desai Self Retaining Retractor is used in pelvic and abdominal surgery to hold open wound margins while allowing the surgeon to pass instruments and work directly through the fenestrated open loops of the retractor blades.

It is indicated for minor laparotomies, hernia repairs, pelvic floor reconstructions, vaginal vault surgery, urological cystotomies, and deep soft-tissue dissections.

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