The Richardson-Eastman Retractor is a reusable handheld surgical retractor designed for controlled tissue retraction and maintenance of surgical exposure. The Richardson-Eastman pattern uses a double-ended configuration, providing two working ends within one instrument for different levels of tissue retraction.
The current Peak Surgicals storefront identifies this product with SKU PS-O T-01257, while the existing product specification table lists Model Number PS-2375. It is manufactured from German stainless steel and is available with selectable size and surface-finish options.
The Richardson-Eastman pattern is traditionally designed as a double-ended handheld retractor. The two working ends provide different blade profiles, allowing the surgical team to select the appropriate end according to the required exposure and tissue depth.
The current Peak Surgicals page does not state the exact blade dimensions for its selectable configurations. Buyers requiring a particular small or large blade combination should therefore confirm the selected Size option before ordering.
Established Richardson-Eastman designs use right-angle working ends for controlled retraction of tissue layers. Unlike a self-retaining retractor, the instrument is manually held and repositioned by the surgeon or surgical assistant throughout use.
This handheld configuration allows the direction and amount of retraction to be adjusted according to the operative field and surgical requirements.
The Richardson-Eastman Retractor is intended to maintain access to the operative area by holding tissue away from the surgical field. The double-ended design provides a dedicated alternative to single-ended handheld retractors where more than one working-end size may be useful.
The amount of force applied should be controlled according to the tissue being retracted, anatomy, surgical approach, and clinician technique.
The Richardson-Eastman pattern is widely used within general surgical instrument sets. Its handheld design is suitable for procedures where tissue layers need to be manually retracted to maintain visibility and access.
The current Peak Surgicals page itself does not assign a specific abdominal or general surgical procedure to this exact model, so procedure-specific compatibility should be determined by the surgical team.
Established surgical-instrument catalogs also list Richardson-Eastman Retractors for thoracic and cardiovascular surgical use. The pattern can therefore be included in procedure-specific sets where a double-ended handheld retractor is required.
Peak Surgicals does not provide procedure-specific blade dimensions or working-depth recommendations for this product. These details should not be copied from another manufacturer's Richardson-Eastman model.
The current Peak Surgicals specification confirms German stainless steel construction. The rigid metallic design provides the structural characteristics required for a reusable handheld surgical retractor.
The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, surgical centers, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a particular steel specification or supporting material documentation should confirm that information before ordering.
Peak Surgicals specifically identifies the Richardson-Eastman Retractor as reusable. Following clinical use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing procedures.
Before reuse, inspect both working ends, the central handle area, and all instrument surfaces for deformation, corrosion, surface damage, or other conditions that could affect normal retraction.
The live Peak Surgicals storefront includes a Size selector, indicating that multiple configurations are available for this product.
The exact selectable measurements are not exposed in the current product information. Buyers requiring a specific overall length, blade width, blade depth, or small/large configuration should confirm those dimensions before ordering.
The current Peak Surgicals specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finish options. Buyers can select the required surface finish according to their surgical instrument inventory or procurement requirements.
