Description

Sklar's Mathieu Double-Ended Retractor is a handheld instrument used to hold back muscle and tissue close to the surface. The ends of the Mathieu retractor angle out in the same direction. One end is forked with three curved prongs and the other is a solid, flat blade angled at approximately 90 degrees. The handle of the retractor is flat and smooth. This product features sharp tips on the forked end of the retractor and the overall length is 6-1/4 inches. The Mathieu retractor is almost identical to the Senn retractor; however, the ends of the Senn retractor angle out in opposite directions.
