Volkman Retractor: A Novel Tool For Joint/Small Bone Procedures

There is a wide variety of surgical retractors used for the retraction of tissues and organs in order to provide better visualization to surgeons. But every instrument is specified for relevant surgeries due to its specified uses in those surgeries. For example, clamping instruments are best for clamping blood vessels. Likewise, a retractor of a specified type is suitable only for relevant surgeries.

The best use of an instrument is that it can only be suitable for its relevant use.

Thus, here I have an incredible instrument to present that is primarily used for Joint/Small Bone Procedures. Volkman Retractor is a hand-held retractor that comes with 1 to 6 prong tips. The prongs can be blunt or sharp, depending on the tissue type being held or the surgical type. It is the best instrument used for the retraction and exposing purposes. It is ideal for holding back or retract the tissues or organs, so the surgeons can easily get better access to the operative area. It comes in a wide range of surgical procedures such as retractor with hollow handle, 8 1/2", Four Blunt Prongs/Sharp prongs, or many more. You can find the best instruments of your choice in multiple variations. The body of the instrument is made of 100% medical-grade stainless steel. This metal keeps it lightweight and rustproof. Low maintenance is required due to having high tensile strength and resistance against environmental changes. It is a reusable tool that can be cleaned and sterilized easily.
