Richardson Retractor 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" standard handle

Controlled Retraction for Clearer Surgical Access

The Richardson Retractor 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" standard handle is a handheld surgical retractor designed to hold tissue aside and support access to the operative field. Its compact 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" configuration offers a practical option when controlled manual retraction is needed during General Surgery and Neurosurgery procedures. The standard handle supports direct manipulation by the surgical team, while the retractor format helps maintain exposure during tasks that require steady positioning and focused visualization. Its straightforward design fits established instrument-handling workflows without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Support manual retraction of tissue to help maintain access to the operative field during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with controlled exposure when a surgeon or assistant needs direct handling of a handheld retractor.
• Use in Neurosurgery workflows where measured tissue retraction can support focused access and visualization.
