Hand-Held Retractors | Deaver, Richardson, Adson | DDP Skip to content

Retractors-Hand Held

Hand-held retractors are held by an assistant to open an incision and hold tissue back. Unlike self-retaining retractors they can be repositioned instantly as the operation moves, and the blade shape is chosen for the depth and tissue: a wide curved Deaver for deep abdominal work, a small Senn for superficial wounds, a toothed scalp retractor for the scalp.

This collection covers general, abdominal, spinal and neurosurgical patterns. Order single retractors or send your list for a quote.

What This Collection Covers

  • Abdominal — Deaver (paediatric to 2 inch wide), Richardson and Richardson appendectomy retractors
  • Superficial — Senn double-ended retractors
  • Spinal — Meyerding and Markham-Meyerding (left and right)
  • Scalp and cranial — contour scalp, Miskimon and Adson cerebellar retractors, sharp and blunt

Sharp or Blunt Prongs?

Sharp prongs grip firmly in skin and scalp and do not slip. Blunt prongs are used near vessels, nerves and deeper tissue where a sharp tip could cause injury.

How to Choose

Depth. Choose a blade long enough to reach the bottom of the wound; a blade that is too short pulls on the wound edge.

Handle. Hollow and grip handles reduce fatigue for long retraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Deaver and a Richardson?
A Deaver is a long, smooth, curved blade for deep retraction; a Richardson has a shorter, right-angled blade for the abdominal wall.
