Surgical Applications of Adson Self-Retaining Retractor – CVD 16 cm

This device maintains controlled separation of superficial soft tissues to preserve access within confined orthopedic fields. The self-retaining mechanism sustains consistent retraction in small incisions, supporting access facilitation, orientation, and workspace stability during minor orthopedic interventions.

Common Applications

• Preserving access during hand and wrist approaches with constrained exposure.
• Retracting skin and subcutaneous tissue in foot and ankle procedures.
• Holding soft tissue aside during superficial plate, screw, or wire placement.
• Assisting tendon exposure by providing static retraction in limited spaces.
• Providing stable retraction during graft harvest or wound closure.
• General soft-tissue retraction in minor orthopedic procedures.
