Product Description
The Kocher Retractor is an essential handheld surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide dependable, deep soft-tissue displacement and muscle holding during general, thyroid, and orthopedic procedures. Designed with an elongated right-angled blade terminating in a soft retaining lip, this instrument allows surgical assistants to maintain constant, non-slip counter-traction on thick tissue layers without crushing underlying structures.
Built for complete procedural adaptability, this Kocher Retractor series maintains a fixed finger-ring layout while featuring highly adaptive size menus combining instrument length and blade surface footprint dimensions. The instrument is available in four overall lengths: 20.3 cm ($49), 21 cm ($54), 22.8 cm ($59), and 23 cm ($64). Surgeons can select from 12 distinct combined configurations, including 20.3 cm with a 20 × 12 mm blade, 21 cm layouts with blades from 8 × 25 mm to 12 × 65 mm, and 23 cm layouts with broad blades spanning 18 × 40 mm up to 40 × 75 mm.
Handcrafted from premium surgical-grade German stainless steel with a reflection-free satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Kocher Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital sterilization cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete autoclave durability for operating rooms worldwide.
