Ragnell retractor 6 1/4" double-ended 2.5mm x 8.0mm and 5.0mm x 15.0mm wide blades flat handle

Two-Ended Blade Options for Controlled General-Surgery Retraction

The Ragnell retractor is a hand-held instrument used to gently hold tissue aside and support exposure during general-surgery procedures. Its 6 1/4-inch double-ended design provides two blade profiles in one flat-handle instrument: a narrower 2.5 mm x 8.0 mm blade and a wider 5.0 mm x 15.0 mm blade. This configuration allows the clinician to select the working end that best suits the access point and tissue area being managed. The flat handle supports direct manual positioning, while the compact format can help keep instrument selection efficient within the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue edges to support visualization during general-surgery procedures.
• Selecting the narrower blade end for more focused retraction in smaller access areas.
• Using the wider blade end when a broader retraction surface is appropriate.
• Switching between blade profiles without reaching for a separate retractor.
• Positioning and adjusting a hand-held retractor during open surgical exposure.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the retractor according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect both blade ends and the flat handle before and after use for visible damage, distortion, or surface irregularities.
• Handle the blades carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help prevent bending or contact damage.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects both blade profiles from impact and contamination.

General use; follow facility protocols.
