Controlled Retraction for Surgical Exposure

The 9" Hibbs Retractor 1×3" #1 is a manual surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support clear access to the operative field. Its 9-inch overall length provides practical reach for controlled positioning during General Surgery and Orthopedic procedures, while the Hibbs retractor format supports focused exposure through deliberate hand placement. It can help maintain a consistent working view as the surgical team progresses through soft-tissue or musculoskeletal approaches. The straightforward design fits workflows that require dependable manual retraction, responsive handling, and careful control around the operative site.
