Surgical Kocher Retractor – 08-340-22

The 08-340-22 Kocher Retractor is intended for situations where a surgeon needs a handheld instrument to draw tissue away from the operative field and maintain a clearer working area. Listed by Next Edge Surgical LLC within its Retractors category, this Kocher pattern belongs to a familiar group of manual surgical instruments used for controlled tissue exposure. The product page identifies it specifically as a Kocher Retractor and lists the SKU as GRP-08-340-22.
For operating-room teams, the value of a handheld design lies in the ability to position the instrument directly where exposure is required rather than relying on a fixed frame. Its working end can be placed against appropriate tissue and held at the selected angle while another member of the team performs the retraction.
The instrument is particularly relevant when maintaining access depends on active positioning throughout the procedure.
A practical way to view its role is through three considerations:
* Manual control: The handheld configuration allows the user to determine the direction and amount of retraction during use.
* Operative exposure: The working end provides a defined contact area for drawing suitable tissue away from the surgical site.
* Instrument selection: Having the appropriate Kocher pattern available gives the surgical team another option when choosing between different forms of retractors.
The 08-340-22 is therefore suited to professional surgical inventories where dependable access and controlled manual handling are part of routine instrument selection. Use and processing should follow the facility’s established procedures.
