Medlene® Kocher Retractor is a multipurpose surgical tool that surgeons can use for retracting and hold tissues away from the operating site during general and orthopedic surgeries.
The Kocher Retractor is a surgical instrument that allows surgeons to widen incisions. Moreover, the blade has a L-shaped profile for reaching the narrow cavities underneath the skin.
In addition, surgeons can use this retractor for pulling back tissues without causing local injury. To this end, the blade has an atraumatic terminal curve.
Also, the retractor features a hollow teardrop handle. This handle has a central ring for single finger retraction. After the ring, there is a hollow teardrop shaped space for multiple fingers retraction.
To conclude, all our Kocher Retractors have a long slender shaft that improves surgical view. Crafted from premium grade stainless steel.
Made in highest quality, surgical grade stainless steel with satin finish to reduce glare. The instrument can be sterilized and reused.
