Description

The Sklar 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. This product is straight with 1 sharp prong on each tip and a length of 5-1/2 inches.
