Jensen Self-Retaining Retractor, 10 cm 3:3 Prongs
Features and Description:
The Jensen Self-Retaining Retractor is a high-precision tool that surgeons use mainly for ophthalmic, plastic, and small-site surgeries. It helps to maintain a clear view of the surgical field by holding back skin or tissue layers. Because it features a self-locking screw mechanism, it stays in place without any manual help. Consequently, the surgeon can perform delicate tasks with both hands free.
We offer the Jensen retractor in both sharp and blunt styles. Therefore, you can choose the best version for either firm skin retraction or protecting delicate structures.
Key Features and Benefits
- Precise Tension Control: First, the thumb-screw allows the user to open the blades slowly. This ensures you gain the exact amount of exposure needed for the procedure.
- 3:3 Prong Design: Furthermore, each side features three fine prongs. These prongs provide a stable and balanced grip on the incision edges.
- Safety and Protection: Since we offer a blunt version, you can retract tissue near sensitive nerves or vessels safely. As a result, the tool minimizes the risk of accidental trauma.
- Compact 10 cm Frame: Because the instrument measures only 10 cm, it is a perfect choice for small surgical fields where larger tools would be too bulky.
- High-Quality Finish: Additionally, the satin surface finish prevents bright light reflections. This helps the surgical team stay focused under intense operating room lights.
Available Options
Both models share the same compact frame and 10 cm (4″) length to ensure consistent performance.

Common Surgical Applications
Many doctors choose the Jensen retractor for very specific operations. For example, it is an excellent choice for eyelid surgery or minor dermatological excisions.
