The Kelly Retractor is a heavy-duty 26 cm deep abdominal instrument designed to retract thick abdominal walls and pelvic tissues during major surgery. Available in three selectable blade footprints up to 95 mm × 60 mm, its right-angled blade with a rounded lip ensures broad, non-slip counter-traction.

Product Description

The Kelly Retractor is a classic deep-cavity surgical instrument engineered specifically to provide broad, atraumatic soft-tissue and abdominal wall displacement during major open procedures. Designed with an elongated right-angled blade terminating in a soft retaining lip, this retractor allows surgical teams to hold back heavy muscle layers, adipose tissue, and viscera cleanly away from the operative corridor.

Built for dependable deep-cavity clearance, this Kelly Retractor maintains a fixed, uniform tool length of 26 cm that keeps assistant hands well outside the surgical field. The instrument provides customizable blade surface footprints selectable from the purchase menu parameters: 55 mm × 60 mm ($89), 70 mm × 40 mm ($94), and an expansive 95 mm × 60 mm ($99) profile, with general menu widths spanning from 2 to 4 cm and lengths spanning from 5 to 8 cm. Its ergonomic handle delivers comfortable manual leverage and superior stability throughout multi-hour procedures.

Forged from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker manufactures the Kelly Retractor to withstand heavy mechanical loads and repeated hospital autoclave cycles, providing general, gynecological, and orthopedic operating theaters worldwide with unyielding clinical durability and dependability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Kelly Retractor?

The Kelly Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 55 mm × 60 mm ($89.00), 70 mm × 40 mm ($94.00), 95 mm × 60 mm ($99.00), which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ergonomic flat handle with finger rings/contours designed for heavy manual pulling leverage, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 26 cm (approx. 10.25 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

What is the Kelly Retractor used for?

The Kelly Retractor is used in open surgery to retract thick abdominal walls, fascia, and viscera, providing a stable, unencumbered view into deep cavities.

Which surgical procedures is it for?

It is indicated for exploratory laparotomy, colectomy, appendectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy, cesarean section, pelvic exenteration, and deep orthopedic exposures.

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 lights.

Is the Kelly Retractor reusable and autoclavable?

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

Can components and blades be ordered separately?

Because this is a solid, one-piece handheld instrument, each blade footprint is sold as a standalone unit. Hospitals can order multi-size sets to equip general laparotomy trays.

Can custom modifications or private-label markings be ordered?

Yes. Retractor Maker provides custom blade depths, modified lip geometries, 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.
