Richardson Retractor Loop Handle

The Richardson Retractor Loop Handle is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Single-ended right-angle curved blade with smooth retaining lip to prevent tissue creep, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is integrated ergonomic loop handle framework tailored to minimize manual hand fatigue, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 9 ½ inches (24.13 cm, $54.00) and 10 inches (25.40 cm, $59.00) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Richardson Retractor Loop Handle is used in open abdominal surgery to hook and retract the abdominal wall, fascia, and muscular planes, utilizing a teardrop loop handle to provide secure assistant grip leverage.

It is indicated for exploratory laparotomy, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, cesarean delivery, and total abdominal hysterectomy.

The instrument is handcrafted from premium German surgical stainless steel with an anti-glare satin matte finish that eliminates optical reflections under surgical operating lights.
