Surgical Kocher-Wagner Retractor – 08-383-28

The 08-383-28 differs from the preceding Kocher models because Next Edge Surgical LLC identifies it specifically as a Kocher-Wagner Retractor. The instrument is listed under the Retractors category with SKU GRP-08-383-28.
The Kocher-Wagner designation is important when selecting instruments for surgical exposure because pattern names help clinicians distinguish one configuration from another. Rather than treating every retractor as interchangeable, operating-room staff can select the pattern that corresponds with the exposure requirements and instrument preferences of the procedure.
This instrument is intended for manual tissue retraction, allowing the user to position the working end and maintain suitable tissue away from the operative field.
Its practical role can be summarized as follows:
* Pattern-specific selection: The Kocher-Wagner name provides a clear identification point for procurement and tray preparation.
* Manual positioning: The user can place the instrument where exposure is required and adjust it during the procedure.
* Operative access: Its working end provides a means of holding appropriate tissue away from the area being accessed.
* Inventory flexibility: It adds a distinct option to a broader range of retractors rather than duplicating a generic instrument description.
The available product page does not state exact working dimensions, material composition, sterilization compatibility, or a specific anatomical application. These details should not be assumed and should instead be confirmed through relevant product documentation and facility protocols.
For surgical teams that value clear pattern identification, the 08-383-28 provides a useful Kocher-Wagner option for manual tissue exposure.
