Army Retractor – Wide Blade, 7.5 Inch – Double End Surgical Retractor
The wide-blade end of this Army Retractor covers more tissue per pull, which is why it is the default choice for general abdominal retraction rather than fine or superficial work.
Same 7.5 inch handle and double-ended layout as the narrow pattern, but both blades on this version are cut wider, giving the assistant holding it more surface area to hold tissue back with less hand fatigue over a long procedure. Distributors building a full tray typically stock the narrow and wide patterns together so the assistant can pick whichever end suits the moment.
