Senn Forward Retractor

The Senn Forward Retractor is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics. The working blade is specified as Specialized forward-projecting tip armed with shallow teeth for slippage-free control, which spreads retraction force over a wider contact area and reduces point pressure on tissue. The handle is single-ended design integrated into an ergonomically smoothed handle chassis, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 6.25 inches (15.87 cm) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field. It is made from premium operating room-grade german stainless steel (aisi 304/410) for glare-free, corrosion-resistant service.

The Senn Forward Retractor is used in minor and plastic surgery to hook and hold back cutaneous wound margins and fascia, utilizing shallow forward-facing teeth to prevent slippage.

It is indicated for carpal tunnel decompression, trigger finger release, blepharoplasty, facial scar revisions, superficial cyst excisions, and digital tendon repairs.

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 and loupes.
