Retraction
Typical Use
Retract superficial tissue in small incisions.
Description
A double ended handheld retractor with a small L shaped blade on one end and a rake on the other, used for superficial retraction in small incisions such as hand, foot, or minor soft tissue procedures. The Senn retractor provides fine control for exposing shallow operative fields and is commonly used in plastic, orthopedic, and general minor procedures. Gentle handling and periodic repositioning reduce pressure related tissue injury and improve operative visibility. Sterilization and inspection for bent prongs or sharp edges are important to maintain instrument safety and function.
