Description

Sklar's Richardson Retractor is a handheld, single end, right angle retractor used for holding back multiple layers of deep tissue. This retractor is often used in appendectomy procedures, as well as Cesarean Sections and Laparotomy. The blade is right angled, concave, and has a slight lip at the tip. The handle is hollow and features finger ridges for improved grip. The Richardson retractor is often mistaken for a Kelly retractor; however, the Richardson retractor has a smaller blade. This product is considered a large Richardson retractor with a 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" blade. The overall length is 9-1/2 inches.
