Lateral Vaginal Retractor Archives

A Lateral Vaginal Retractor is a specialized surgical instrument designed to provide broad, stable lateral retraction of the vaginal walls during gynecologic and urologic procedures. Its curved, smooth blade is shaped to conform to the vaginal anatomy, gently holding back tissue to expose the surgical field, such as the cervix or vaginal apex, during hysterectomies, pelvic floor repairs, or vaginal deliveries requiring episiotomy repair. This instrument is essential for maintaining optimal visualization and access, allowing the surgeon to operate safely and efficiently within the confined pelvic space.

Key Features:

Broad, curved blade designed to retract vaginal walls laterally with minimal trauma.
Provides stable exposure of the cervix and vaginal surgical field.
Essential for vaginal hysterectomy, anterior/posterior colporrhaphy, and other pelvic surgeries.
Smooth edges protect delicate vaginal mucosa from injury.
Often used in conjunction with other retractors for comprehensive pelvic exposure.
A fundamental tool in gynecologic and urogynecologic surgery.
