21 cm Blunt
What is it? A 21cm blunt-tipped retractor built for tissue displacement in maxillofacial and general surgical procedures requiring a longer reach.
Why blunt rather than sharp? The blunt tip minimizes the risk of accidental tissue puncture, making this retractor a considerate choice for procedures where the surrounding structures are sensitive to sharper instruments.
Why 21cm specifically? That length puts the Travers Retractor among the longer instruments in this lineup, well suited to deeper surgical fields where a shorter retractor would force the handle too close to the operative site.
How does length affect handling? A longer retractor gives the surgeon or assistant better leverage and a more comfortable working distance, particularly useful during extended procedures where hand fatigue can become a factor.
What’s it made from? Surgical-grade stainless steel, fully capable of withstanding the sterilization cycles standard in surgical practice without losing its blunt tip shape or overall rigidity.
Who benefits most? Surgeons working in deeper maxillofacial fields who need dependable, non-puncturing retraction over a sustained period.
