Sklar Alm Self-Retaining Retractor
A self-retaining retractor with 4x4 teeth, available in 2-3/4 and 4 inch sizes with blunt or sharp prong options. It is built for repeated sterilisation and use across many cases.
The Sklar Alm Self-Retaining Retractor is a small self-retaining instrument that holds a wound edge open without requiring an assistant to maintain manual retraction, using a ratcheted mechanism that locks the two arms apart once positioned. This listing spans four variants, offered at 2-3/4 inch and 4 inch sizes, each available with 4x4 teeth in either a blunt or sharp point, letting the surgical team match the retractor to the depth and sensitivity of the tissue being held.
The blunt tooth option is generally chosen for more delicate tissue where a sharper point risks unwanted trauma, while the sharp option provides a firmer bite for tougher or thicker tissue layers. Self-retaining retractors of this compact scale are used across minor surgery, plastic surgery and other procedures with a relatively small incision, since they free up an extra pair of hands during the case.
Most minor procedure and general surgery trays keep both sizes and tip options available.
