Sklar Farr Retractor, Flat Blades
A compact two and a quarter inch retractor with flat blades used to hold tissue open gently during surgical procedures where a small instrument suits the field.
The Sklar Farr Retractor is a small, hand-held retractor with flat blades, used to hold soft tissue aside and maintain visibility at a surgical site where a large retractor would be impractical or unnecessary. Its compact two and a quarter inch size suits procedures involving a small incision or a confined anatomical area, where the surgeon or assistant needs gentle, localised retraction rather than the broader exposure a larger frame or blade retractor would provide.
The flat blade design distributes pressure evenly against the tissue it holds back, reducing the risk of localised bruising or trauma compared with a narrower or sharper edged retractor used in the same role. This listing covers two variants of the pattern, giving a facility a choice within the same product line.
It is used by surgeons and assistants across general and minor surgery wherever a small, simple retractor is needed. As a stainless steel instrument, it is built for the repeated cleaning and sterilisation cycles typical of hospital instrument processing.
