Does this tool meet federal procurement standards?

What is the total length of the instrument?

The Sklar Meyerding Retractor measures 7 inches in length, providing a balanced profile that is ideal for maneuvering in small, delicate surgical areas.

How should this instrument be prepared before its first use?

Since this instrument arrives non-sterile, it must be properly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for surgical stainless steel instruments before its first use in a clinical setting.

Is the retractor tip designed for specific types of surgery?

The 3-toothed tip configuration is specifically designed for small-site surgeries. The combination of the right-angle blade and the saw-edged teeth provides the necessary precision to maintain clear visibility during delicate procedures.

How durable is the construction of this retractor?

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this retractor is built for heavy-duty professional use. Its corrosion-resistant finish is designed to maintain its structural integrity through years of daily clinical demand.

What is the benefit of the saw-edge working style?

The saw-edge working style is essential for maintaining a secure hold on tissue. When paired with the 3-tooth configuration, it minimizes slippage, allowing the surgeon to maintain clear site visibility without constantly repositioning the instrument.
