Mikulicz Retractor 90 x 50 mm, 26 cm (10¼”)

The Mikulicz Retractor 90 x 50 mm, 26 cm (10¼”) is a specialized, heavy-duty hand-held instrument designed for the powerful retraction of abdominal organs and thick tissue layers. Named after the legendary surgeon Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki, this retractor is a cornerstone tool for providing deep and stable exposure during complex laparotomies and pelvic surgeries.

Featuring a robust 90 mm deep by 50 mm wide blade, this instrument offers the ideal surface area for controlling substantial tissue masses while maintaining a clear and unobstructed surgical corridor.

Product Specifications

• Total Length: 26 cm (10¼ inches)
• Blade Dimensions: 90 mm (depth) × 50 mm (width)
• Blade Design: Deep, right-angled concave blade with a beveled terminal lip
• Handle Type: Ergonomic hollow handle for improved balance and grip
• Material: Premium German-grade Stainless Steel
• Finish: Mirror-polished to reduce surgical glare

Key Features & Benefits

The Mikulicz Retractor is engineered to deliver uncompromising stability in high-stress surgical environments:

• Extra-Deep 90 mm Blade – Consequently, surgeons can achieve clear visualization of deep-seated anatomical structures while large organs are held safely and securely aside.
• Broad 50 mm Surface Area – Therefore, pressure is distributed evenly across a larger section of tissue, which significantly minimizes the risk of localized trauma or bruising to retracted organs.
• Premium German Stainless Steel – Moreover, this ensures exceptional durability, high tensile strength, and superior resistance to corrosion throughout its service life.
• Ergonomic Hollow Handle – As a result, the surgical assistant can maintain a firm, non-slip hold with significantly reduced hand fatigue during prolonged retraction.
• Secure Beveled Lip – Additionally, the design prioritizes patient safety by providing a secure “hook” on tissues that prevents the instrument from slipping back into the operative field.
• Mirror-Polished Finish – Furthermore, glare from operating lights is minimized, maintaining a sharp and unobstructed field of vision.
• Fully Autoclavable – Hence, it is compatible with all standard high-temperature sterilization and decontamination protocols.

Common Surgical Applications

Due to its robust design and specialized geometry, the Mikulicz Retractor is a staple in several major specialties:

• General Surgery: Frequently used to retract the liver, stomach, or intestines during deep exploratory laparotomies.
• Gynecology & Obstetrics: Ideal for providing wide exposure during complex hysterectomies and radical pelvic procedures.
• Urology: Highly effective for retracting the abdominal wall to access the bladder, prostate, or retroperitoneal space.
• Trauma Surgery: Essential for rapid and stable exposure of internal structures in emergency abdominal operations.
• Veterinary Medicine: Perfectly sized for major abdominal procedures in large animal surgery.

Why Professionals Choose the Mikulicz Pattern

Surgical professionals consistently rely on the Mikulicz Retractor for procedures where standard retractors provide insufficient depth or stability. First, the deep concave geometry of the blade ensures that organs are “cradled” securely, reducing the need for constant repositioning. Second, the heavy-duty construction ensures the blade remains rigid and does not flex under the weight of the abdominal wall. Third, the hollow-handle design provides the assistant with the necessary balance to maintain steady retraction for several hours.

In addition, the high-grade stainless steel ensures a seamless finish that is easy to clean. Consequently, the surgical field remains safely and perfectly exposed from start to finish.

Superior Engineering & Maintenance

Every Mikulicz Retractor is manufactured with precision to withstand the rigors of frequent clinical use:

• High-grade steel maintains structural integrity even under repeated surgical stress.
• Seamless construction prevents the accumulation of biological debris, making the sterilization process highly efficient.
• Rust-resistant properties protect the instrument through thousands of high-temperature autoclave cycles.

As a result, this instrument represents a high-value, long-term investment for any hospital, specialized surgical center, or private clinic.
