Description
The Simon Retractor by BENZ is a reliable handheld surgical instrument widely used in general surgery and gynecology/obstetrics. Designed with a wide, blunt L-shaped blade and a long, hollow ergonomic handle, it provides excellent exposure in deep and difficult-to-reach areas such as the pelvic cavity, vaginal walls, and abdominal tissues.
Because the blade edges are blunt, the risk of causing damage to soft tissue or vessels is minimized, making it more atraumatic during procedures. With its generous 28 cm / 11-inch length, it can reach deeply while surgeons maintain comfort and control thanks to its sturdy handle. Simon Retractors come in different blade widths/sizes to adapt to specific surgical needs.
