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.

This instrument is best for small or joint retraction, due
to its delicate design and unique features. The surgical procedures that need
retraction of delicate tissues and organs are very sensitive to patient and
doctors both. These types of procedures mostly need greater attention and a
team of assistants that help during retraction. Thus, I always recommend you to
find a suitable retractor for your surgical procedures.
