Army Retractor – Heavy-Duty Wide Blade, 8.25 Inch – Double End Surgical Retractor
The 8.25 inch heavy-duty pattern is the longest, sturdiest Army Retractor in the range, built for larger incisions where a 7.5 inch handle would leave too little leverage.
The added length gives the assistant holding it more mechanical advantage over a longer retraction, and the thicker blade stock resists bending under sustained pull better than the standard 7.5 inch pattern. It still carries the same double-ended layout, so the assistant is not limited to one blade width per instrument. This is the size distributors ask for when a hospital's general surgery volume runs to larger-frame patients or longer incisions.
