The Kelly Retractor is a manual, right-angle, general retractor used for wound exposure during surgical procedures. It features a long, atraumatic blade with a terminal downward curve, allowing surgeons to slip the blade inside the incision opening without causing local injury. The upper surface of the blade has a concave shape, providing a wider surgical view after retraction.
The retractor has a fenestrated handle with anterior ridges, accommodating fingers for comfortable grip and control during lengthy procedures. Multiple working end sizes are available to accommodate different layers of tissue, making it a versatile instrument for various surgical specialties.
