Sklar Merit Alm Retractor, 2-3/4 in

The Alm retractor is a small, sharp toothed retractor commonly used to hold the edges of a wound or incision apart, giving the surgeon a clear working space during a minor procedure without needing an assistant to hold tissue back manually. This Sklar Merit version measures 2-3/4 inches, a compact size suited to smaller incisions and superficial procedures rather than larger surgical fields that would call for a bigger retractor.

It is used across minor surgery, dermatology and general procedure settings wherever a small self-retaining or manually placed retractor is needed to keep an incision open while the clinician works. Its compact size makes it easy to position and reposition within a limited surgical field, which is often the case in office based minor procedures.

It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard surgical instrument reprocessing protocols, with the sharp retracting teeth checked periodically for condition.
