For deep tissue retraction in orthopedic, spinal, and general operations, a self-retaining surgical retractor is used. Made of surgical-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of sterilization, this 7 1/2" Gelpi retractor has sharp, pointed tips for secure penetration and firm tissue separation. Its ratcheted locking mechanism maintains consistent tension for hands-free use, improving exposure and surgical efficiency.
