Freeman Rake Retractor Flat Handle 4 Prongs 1 1/2" (3.8cm) wide all prongs in line 7" (18cm)

In-Line Four-Prong Retraction for Controlled Surgical Access

The Freeman Rake Retractor is a hand-held instrument designed to retract tissue and maintain exposure during surgical work. Its flat handle supports direct manual control, while four in-line prongs provide a defined contact pattern for positioning at the operative site. The 1 1/2-inch (3.8 cm) width suits focused retraction, and the 7-inch (18 cm) length supports practical reach from the handle to the working end. For General Surgery and Plastic Surgery applications, this rake-style configuration can help organize the field during tasks that require steady tissue handling and clear visualization without adding unnecessary instrument complexity.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain exposure during General Surgery procedures.
• Supporting focused soft-tissue retraction in Plastic Surgery workflows.
• Using the four in-line prongs for a defined rake-style contact pattern at the operative site.
• Applying controlled manual retraction where a flat-handle instrument is preferred for direct handling.
• Positioning the 7-inch (18 cm) instrument to support access between the hand and the working field.

Specifications

Care & Handling
