Designed for use in a variety of surgical procedures to retract the edges of wounds and/or incisions to expose the tissue underneath. Manufactured by Aesculap (B. Braun), this retractor features an ankh-shaped handle, allowing for a high degree of steadiness and precision in placement, as well as attaching weights to keep the tissue retracted, and a tip with four deeply curved prongs and blunt ends to ensure a secure grip on tissue without risk of trauma to the patient. This instrument is provided non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use.
