Milligan Self-Retaining Retractor, 13 cm, 3:3 Prongs
Features and Description:
The Milligan Self-Retaining Retractor is a high-quality surgical tool that surgeons use to maintain wound exposure in small to medium surgical sites. It is a popular choice for specialized procedures in the neck, hands, and feet. Because it features a self-locking ratchet mechanism, it holds the tissue open without any manual help. Consequently, the surgical team can work with maximum efficiency and both hands free.
We offer the Milligan retractor in both sharp and blunt configurations. Therefore, you can select the perfect tip for either firm skin retraction or delicate soft tissue protection.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable Ratchet System: First, the finger-ring handle includes a precise ratchet. This allows the user to lock the blades at the exact width needed for the incision.
- 3:3 Prong Configuration: Furthermore, the three-pronged design on each side ensures a balanced and even spread. This provides a very stable grip on the tissue edges.
- Optimal Tip Choices: Since we offer sharp prongs for tough skin and blunt prongs for sensitive areas, the tool adapts to your clinical needs. As a result, you gain better control over patient safety.
- Compact 13 cm Frame: Because the instrument measures only 13 cm, it fits easily into tight spaces where larger retractors would be too bulky.
- Satin Finish: Additionally, we treat the stainless steel with a matte finish. This prevents glare from operating room lights, which helps you stay focused on the task.
Available Options
Both models share a standard length of 13 cm (5″) to provide consistent performance in small-scale operations.
