Rizzuti expressor/iris retractor 5 3/4" double-ended small 2.5mm wide retractor blade, muscle hook/lens expressor end round handle

Double-Ended Access and Control for Surgical Retraction

The Rizzuti expressor/iris retractor is a double-ended surgical instrument designed for controlled retraction and expression tasks where a compact profile and purposeful tip selection support precise handling. Measuring 5 3/4 inches overall, it combines a small 2.5mm-wide retractor blade and muscle hook on one end with a lens expressor end on the other, allowing clinicians to select the working end suited to the task without changing instruments. The round handle supports familiar manual manipulation during general surgery and ophthalmic procedures, while the extended length provides useful reach within the operative field.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue with the small 2.5mm-wide blade during focused general surgery tasks.
• Use the muscle hook end when controlled engagement or positioning of tissue is required.
• Apply the lens expressor end for designated ophthalmic handling tasks.
• Change between the two working ends to support sequential retraction and expression steps within the operative workflow.
• Use the 5 3/4-inch length for practical access and hand positioning around the operative field.
