Surgical Kocher Retractor – 08-355-19

A surgical tray often needs more than one option for tissue exposure, particularly when instruments within the same pattern are available in different configurations. The 08-355-19 Kocher Retractor is listed by Next Edge Surgical LLC as a Kocher Retractor under the Retractors category, with SKU GRP-08-355-19.
Its role is straightforward: provide a handheld means of moving appropriate tissue away from the operative area so the surgical team can work within the exposed field. Because it is manually positioned, the user can alter its placement when the direction of exposure needs to change.
The Kocher designation is also useful from an inventory perspective. Surgical staff and procurement teams can identify the pattern without relying solely on appearance, while the SKU provides a specific reference for ordering and stock control.
Key practical considerations include:
* Handheld operation: The instrument is positioned directly by the user, allowing retraction to be adjusted as needed.
* Defined working end: The Kocher pattern provides a purposeful contact point for controlled tissue exposure.
* Procedure preparation: Keeping different instrument patterns available can help teams select the appropriate tool for the exposure requirements of individual cases.
* Category compatibility: The instrument forms part of Next Edge Surgical LLC’s broader selection of tissue retractors.
The available product page does not state material, sterilization compatibility, or specific procedural indications. Those details should therefore be determined from applicable manufacturer documentation and the healthcare facility’s validated processing procedures.
The 08-355-19 is a practical addition for professional surgical inventory where controlled manual retraction is required.
