Description
The Volkmann Retractor Sharp by BENZ is a high-precision, handheld surgical retractor equipped with sharp, tapered prongs designed for firm and reliable tissue retraction in small-joint, hand, plastic, and soft tissue procedures. With sharp tips available in 1 to 6 prong configurations, this instrument gives surgeons the ability to grip and retract tougher tissues securely where blunt retraction might not suffice.
With an overall length around 21-22 cm (≈ 8¾″), the Volkmann Sharp offers ample reach and control even in deep or narrow surgical sites. Its fenestrated or ring-style handle ensures a steady grip, reducing slippage during delicate maneuvers. The sharp prongs are curved or tapered to allow precise entrance into tissue without excess damage.
Made from surgical-grade stainless steel, the BENZ Volkmann Sharp is fully autoclavable, reusable, and resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for demanding surgical environments.
