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.
