Handcrafted from premium operating room-grade materials, the set is highly customizable across three distinct baseline material compositions selectable via the ordering configurations. The dual-ended blade architecture incorporates a Smaller Blade Footprint measuring 38 mm long × 22 mm wide paired with a Larger Blade Footprint measuring 41 mm long × 25 mm wide, both contoured with smooth atraumatic lips that prevent tissue creep and localized bruising.

The US Army Retractor, Set of Two is a solid one-piece instrument, so its performance comes from blade geometry and handle ergonomics.

The handle is central handle with fenestrated aperture designed for weight reduction and secure grip, giving a secure, fatigue-resistant grip through long exposures. An overall length of 21 cm (approx. 8.25 inches) keeps the surgeon's hand clear of the operative field.
