Sklar Hernia Retractor, Double End, 6 Inch

The Sklar Hernia Retractor is a 6 inch double ended handheld instrument used to hold back tissue and maintain a clear surgical field during hernia repair procedures. Having two working ends on a single handle allows the surgeon or assistant to switch between blade shapes or angles without changing instruments, which can be useful as the retraction needs shift through different stages of a hernia repair, from initial exposure to mesh placement and closure.

General surgeons performing inguinal, umbilical, incisional and other hernia repairs use dedicated retractors like this to hold aside skin, fascia or the hernia sac itself so the repair can proceed with a clear view of the defect and surrounding structures. This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for this pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated use with standard sterilization between procedures as part of a general surgery instrument set built for hernia repair.
