Specifically designed for application in veterinary abdominal surgery, the Ricard Abdominal Retractor provides controlled and consistent retraction of the abdominal wall and underlying organs. Two lateral blades and a central blade are all supplied with smooth, atraumatic edges to limit the possibility of tissue damage. The lateral blades retract the incision edges, with the central blade aiding in deeper retraction of organs for enhanced exposure during exploratory laparotomies or gastrointestinal procedures. The screw-lock self-retaining mechanism secures the retractor firmly, leaving the hands of the surgical team free. The ergonomic design, curved shanks, and surgical-grade stainless-steel construction provide durability, ease of use, and repeated sterilization.
Applications
• Used in exploratory laparotomies in dogs, cats, and large animals.
• Assists in spay/neuter surgeries requiring deep abdominal access.
• Facilitates foreign body removal or intestinal resection procedures.
• Ideal for orthopedic or trauma cases involving the abdominal region.
