11-1092-16 | Taylor Retractor
The Taylor Retractor 11-1092-16 is a compact hand-held retractor intended for maintaining
exposure in orthopedic and bone-related procedures where a smaller instrument is appropriate.
It measures 16.5 cm (6 1/2 inches) and is available in two blade dimension configurations, listed
by the manufacturer as a = 75 mm and a = 100 mm. The two options allow the surgical team to
choose between different blade dimensions according to the exposure required. It can sit
alongside other bone surgery instruments in a prepared orthopedic set.
The Taylor pattern is useful when a surgeon needs direct manual retraction rather than a larger
self-retaining system. Its relatively short overall length keeps the instrument close to the hand,
which can be helpful when the operative field is accessible without a long shaft.
A few practical points distinguish this model:
● 16.5 cm overall length: Provides a compact working profile for direct handling within the
operative field.
● 75 mm blade configuration: Offers a smaller option for cases requiring more localized
retraction.
● 100 mm blade configuration: Provides additional blade dimension when broader
exposure is needed.
● Two configurations: Gives the instrument team flexibility when preparing for different
anatomical sites or surgical approaches.
For orthopedic and trauma facilities, maintaining appropriately sized hand retractors can make
exposure more predictable during bone work. The two Taylor configurations also allow the
surgical team to select the blade size before the procedure instead of adapting a single
instrument to every case. Add this retractor to your orthopedic inventory for routine case
preparation.
