20 cm, 8″
The 08-279-20 Volkmann is a 220 mm semi-sharp handheld instrument with an 8.5 x 19 mm working dimension. It provides a broader working profile than the 8.5 x 8 mm and 8.5 x 13 mm semi-sharp patterns while retaining the same 220 mm overall length. This gives surgical teams a defined middle-width option within the Volkmann series.
For procurement and tray management, the 8.5 x 19 mm dimension is an important identifying detail. It distinguishes this model from adjacent semi-sharp instruments that may look similar but have different working widths. The retractor can be matched to the exact pattern and size specified for the instrument set.
8.5 x 19 mm working dimension: Provides a moderate contact width for manual tissue exposure. Semi-sharp configuration: Identifies the working profile supplied with this Volkmann model. 220 mm overall length: Maintains consistent reach across the related series. Intermediate width: Offers more working area than the narrower semi-sharp variants while remaining below the largest listed size.
This model can be useful for operating rooms and medical distributors that maintain graduated Volkmann instruments according to working profile. Its precise specifications support organized inventory, replacement ordering, and consistent tray assembly. Add the 08-279-20 to your professional surgical instrument range when a 220 mm semi-sharp Volkmann with an 8.5 x 19 mm working end is required. The intermediate width gives staff another practical choice when the smallest semi-sharp patterns provide less contact area than required. Maintaining these graduated sizes can make instrument selection more deliberate and can help procurement teams replace individual instruments without changing the established tray configuration. The 220 mm length also keeps the model consistent with the broader Volkmann family.
