Durham Retractor Single Ended 10mm Wide 215mm Hand Held Surgical Retractors

Focused Retraction with Practical Handheld Control

The Durham Retractor is a single-ended, hand-held surgical retractor designed to support tissue retraction during general surgery. Its 10mm-wide blade provides a defined contact area for positioning at the operative site, while the 215mm overall length supports controlled handling from outside the field. The single-ended format keeps the instrument straightforward to position and manipulate when focused retraction is required. By combining a compact working width with useful reach, this retractor can help support clear access and visualization within routine surgical workflows, subject to the requirements of the procedure and facility protocols.

• Use the 215mm hand-held format where controlled reach from outside the surgical field is useful.
