Sklar Fischl Shoe Horn Retractor, Double Ended
A double ended, 6-1/4 inch Sklar Fischl shoe horn retractor with a 16mm blade, used to hold back tissue and give the surgeon a clear view of the operative field.
The Sklar Fischl Shoe Horn Retractor is a double ended surgical retractor measuring 6-1/4 inches overall, with a 16mm curved blade shaped like a shoe horn at each end. The curved, smooth profile of the blade allows it to slide along tissue planes and hold structures out of the surgical field without cutting or tearing, which is why shoe horn style retractors are chosen for procedures where gentle, atraumatic retraction is needed.
Having two working ends on a single handle lets the surgeon or assistant switch blade angle or size without picking up a second instrument, which can speed up the procedure and reduce instrument clutter on the tray. Surgeons and surgical assistants use handheld retractors of this kind across general and specialty surgery whenever an assistant needs to hold tissue aside so the primary surgeon has a clear line of sight and working space.
This listing is for the single size Sklar offers for this retractor pattern.
