Description

The Merit Gelpi Retractor is a ratcheted, finger ring retractor often used in smaller surgical sites. Once the targeted tissue has been held back, the locking mechanism allows the retractor to remain in place, and does not require someone to hold it during the procedure. The Gelpi retractor has a single sharp prong on each tip that is turned outward, sideways, at a 90 degree angle. Merit instruments are Sklar’s office-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These cost effective, high quality instruments are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee. Merit instruments deliver an economical solution for physicians and practices that require quality, durable instruments. This product is straight with 1 sharp prong on each tip and a length of 7 inches.
