Product Description
The Rigby Self-Retaining Vaginal Retractor is an essential gynecological and pelvic reconstructive surgical retractor engineered specifically to provide stable, hands-free vaginal canal expansion during minor and major pelvic procedures. Designed with self-retaining scissor-action arms, this instrument holds opposing vaginal walls apart under mechanical tension, eliminating assistant hand fatigue while preserving an expansive, static visual corridor to the cervix.
Built with a highly polished finish to ensure a smooth, hygienic surface profile, this Rigby Self-Retaining Vaginal Retractor configuration features an overall tool length of 18 cm ($69). Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade German stainless steel, the blade geometry layout incorporates 63.5 mm deep flat, smooth working blades contoured with rounded atraumatic margins to prevent mucosal pinching or laceration. Its handle assembly incorporates a ring handle grip integrated with a mechanical multi-position locking ratchet catch gear that locks firmly at variable opening widths without accidental release.
Forged with an anti-glare satin matte finish on handling interfaces, Retractor Maker produces the Rigby Self-Retaining Vaginal Retractor to withstand repetitive hospital autoclave cycles, delivering high corrosion resistance, unyielding structural rigidity, and complete clinical durability for gynecological surgical suites and outpatient clinics worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the blade and handle design advantages of the Rigby Self-Retaining Vaginal Retractor?
The Rigby Self-Retaining Vaginal Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as 63.5 mm deep flat, smooth working blades with rounded atraumatic edges, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is ring handle grip integrated with a mechanical multi-position locking ratchet catch gear, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 18 cm (approx. 7.1 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/420) with a highly polished working blades combined with satin matte handling interfaces finish for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.
