DeLee Retractor, Universal Blade 2 3/4" x 2"

Controlled Retraction for Clearer General-Surgery Access

The DeLee Retractor with Universal Blade is a manual surgical instrument used to hold tissue aside and support operative exposure during general-surgery procedures. Its universal blade configuration provides a practical contact surface for positioning within the surgical field, while the 2 3/4-inch by 2-inch dimensions offer a defined working profile for controlled handling in relevant retraction tasks. Designed for straightforward instrument use, it can help maintain access and visibility while the surgical team performs hands-on tissue management. Its focused form supports organized instrument handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the operative workflow.

Use Cases

• Retracting tissue to help maintain access to the operative field during general-surgery procedures.
• Supporting manual exposure when a defined 2 3/4-inch by 2-inch blade profile is appropriate.
• Positioning the universal blade to assist with localized retraction and visualization.
• Using as part of a general-surgery instrument setup for controlled, hands-on tissue displacement.
