23cm, 9″
Blunt
The 08-498-23 Koerte retractor provides a 23 cm, 9-inch format with a blunt working end. This configuration is suited to situations in which controlled tissue exposure is required and a blunt point of contact is appropriate for the selected technique. Rather than relying on a generic one-size-fits-all pattern, this model gives surgical teams a defined length that can be compared directly with other instruments in the same family. It is placed in the retractors category for professional healthcare use.
The shorter 23 cm profile can make positioning straightforward in operative fields where an extended shaft is unnecessary. It offers the operator a direct hand-held working distance while leaving room to adjust the angle and point of contact during tissue exposure. The blunt configuration is an important selection detail, particularly when instrument choice is based on the desired contact characteristics rather than length alone.
* Blunt tip: Presents a less pointed contact surface for techniques calling for blunt tissue engagement.
* 23 cm overall length: Provides a relatively compact option for controlled placement close to the operative field.
* Koerte pattern: Gives the instrument a defined identity for ordering, tray organization, and procedural selection.
* Size-specific choice: Complements longer Koerte models when different reach requirements must be covered.
Clinical personnel should select the instrument according to the procedure and established surgical technique. Process the instrument using the healthcare facility’s validated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization procedures, together with applicable manufacturer instructions. Add this 23 cm blunt model to a surgical set where its specific configuration is needed.
