The Ricard Abdominal Retractor is a self-retaining three-blade surgical system engineered for broad laparotomy wound margin separation. Handcrafted from German stainless steel with curved shanks, detachable solid lateral blades, and an asymmetrical central blade in Compact ($229) or Large ($249) sets, it delivers hands-free abdominal and pelvic exposure.

Product Description

The Ricard Abdominal Retractor is an internationally acclaimed abdominal surgical retractor system engineered specifically to provide safe, expansive soft-tissue and visceral displacement during major open laparotomies and pelvic operations. Designed with curved chassis shanks and a three-blade geometry, this instrument holds the abdominal wall and pelvic viscera open under locked mechanical tension, eliminating assistant hand fatigue while preserving an unobstructed visual corridor into the peritoneal cavity.

Built to accommodate diverse incision depths, this Ricard Abdominal Retractor series is cataloged across two primary multi-blade size assortments: Option A (Compact Set, $229) consists of one 55 mm × 70 mm central blade paired with a matching pair of 50 mm × 58 mm lateral blades; and Option B (Large Set, $249) features one 80 mm × 90 mm central blade paired with a matching pair of 60 mm × 80 mm lateral blades. Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the broad scoop-edged lateral panels gather and hold bulky muscular layers cleanly, while the special threaded screw lock manual rotation gear retains blade expansion rigidly. An integrated compact hook handle saves vital operative space.

Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish, Retractor Maker produces the Ricard Abdominal Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, providing general surgery suites, obstetrical theaters, and emergency trauma operating rooms worldwide with exceptional mechanical stability, corrosion resistance, and complete autoclave durability.
