Sklar Army-Navy Retractor Set, Sterile, Case of 25
A sterile, disposable pair of Army-Navy retractors from Sklar used to hold back skin and soft tissue for visibility during surgery, supplied as a case of twenty-five.
Army-Navy retractors are a simple, double-ended hand-held instrument used across almost every surgical specialty to hold back skin and soft tissue so the operating team can see and reach the surgical field. This Sklar set is supplied as a matched pair per set, sterile and disposable, and packaged as a case of twenty-five sets, which suits departments running a high volume of general procedures where retractors are used in nearly every case and single-use convenience outweighs the cost of reprocessing.
Because the design is simple and does not require a locking mechanism or moving parts, it is well suited to disposable manufacture without compromising function. Surgical assistants and residents commonly hold Army-Navy retractors by hand during open procedures, making them one of the most frequently used instruments in a general surgical tray.
Being sterile and single-use also removes any concern about wear from repeated sterilisation cycles affecting the retracting edge over time.
