Fritsch abdominal retractor 11" 76.0mm wide blade, hollow grip handle

Broad, Controlled Retraction for Abdominal Procedures

The Fritsch abdominal retractor is a general-surgery instrument designed to hold tissue or wound margins aside during abdominal procedures, helping maintain a working field while the surgical team operates. Its 11-inch length provides practical reach for abdominal access, while the 76.0 mm wide blade presents a broad retraction surface for positioning against the operative area. The hollow grip handle supports a familiar hand-held configuration for controlled placement and adjustment throughout the procedure. This combination of reach, blade width, and grip design makes the retractor a straightforward option for retraction tasks where dependable positioning and clear access are part of the workflow.
