Crafted for open abdominal surgeries, the Ricard Abdominal Retractor offers controlled, hands-free retraction with its self-retaining, three-blade design. Two lateral blades gently spread the incision while the central blade lifts underlying tissues for deeper access. The curved shanks and ergonomic frame conform to anatomical contours, enhancing stability and positioning. A screw-lock mechanism secures blade placement, minimizing adjustments and reducing fatigue. Its blunt, atraumatic edges protect soft tissues, making it ideal for prolonged surgical exposure.

The Ricard Abdominal Retractor Spreader With 3 Blades is a dependable choice for surgeons seeking reliable exposure and minimal tissue trauma in abdominal procedures. It supports safer and more efficient outcomes across various surgical specialties.

Yes, this self-retaining spreader works effectively on patients with thicker abdominal walls because its adjustable blades and sturdy frame provide strong, consistent retraction. The three-blade design distributes pressure evenly, making it suitable for various body types during open abdominal procedures.

The Richardson features a deeper, more curved blade specifically designed for abdominal work, while the Kelly has a right-angled design suited for shallow cavities. Richardson retractors handle heavier tissue retraction in deep surgical sites, whereas Kelly retractors work better in superficial areas requiring precise positioning.

Abdominal surgeries including cesarean sections, laparotomies, appendectomies, and bowel resections frequently utilize this instrument. It's also essential in gynecological procedures, hepatobiliary operations, and any surgery requiring deep peritoneal cavity access with reliable tissue displacement.

The smooth, rounded edges spread pressure evenly so it doesn't pinch or hurt the tissue in one spot. The curved shape follows the body's natural curves, which means less squeezing and bruising during surgery.

You can find a high-quality abdominal retractor directly from GerMedUSA, crafted for precise tissue exposure and long-lasting performance. Our instruments provide reliable stability and comfort during surgery, ensuring every procedure is smooth and efficient.
