The Richardson Retractor is a reusable handheld surgical retractor designed for controlled tissue retraction and maintenance of surgical exposure. The Richardson pattern is commonly associated with deep-tissue retraction, providing a dedicated manual instrument for procedures where layers of tissue must be held away from the operative field.
The current Peak Surgicals storefront displays SKU PS-O T-01251. The instrument is manufactured from German stainless steel, includes a selectable Size option, and is available with satin, dull, or mirror finish choices for professional operating-room use.
The Richardson pattern is an established handheld surgical retractor. Unlike self-retaining retractors, it is manually positioned and held by the surgeon or surgical assistant to maintain the required degree of tissue retraction.
Established surgical-instrument references describe Richardson retractors as right-angle instruments used for holding back deeper tissue layers. The exact blade angle, blade dimensions, and handle style of this specific Peak Surgicals model are not stated on the current product page and should therefore be confirmed before ordering.
The Richardson pattern is commonly used when deeper tissue layers need to be retracted to maintain visibility and access within the surgical field. Its handheld configuration allows the operator to adjust both the direction and amount of retraction during the procedure.
The exact placement and degree of retraction should be determined according to the procedure, anatomy, and the operating surgeon's technique.
Richardson retractors are widely associated with general surgical instrument sets where controlled manual retraction of deeper tissue is required.
External surgical catalogs reference Richardson retractors for procedures such as laparotomy and other deep-tissue surgical approaches. These application references describe the Richardson pattern generally; the current Peak Surgicals page itself does not list individual procedures for this exact model.
The current Peak Surgicals specification explicitly lists the Richardson Retractor for Operating Room and other professional surgical use.
This makes it relevant for hospitals, surgical centers, and instrument sets requiring a reusable handheld retractor. Procedure-specific selection should depend on the required blade dimensions, working depth, and surgeon preference.
The current Peak Surgicals product specification confirms German stainless steel construction. The rigid metallic structure is suitable for a reusable manually operated 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 specific alloy designation or supporting material documentation should confirm that information before ordering.
Peak Surgicals specifically identifies the Richardson Retractor as reusable. The instrument is intended for repeated professional use when appropriately cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and facility procedures.
Before reuse, the blade, shaft, handle, and all working surfaces should be inspected for corrosion, deformation, surface damage, or any condition that could interfere with normal surgical retraction.
The live Peak Surgicals storefront provides a Size selector for this Richardson Retractor, indicating that selectable configurations are available.
However, the exact size values are not exposed in the currently accessible product information. Buyers requiring a particular overall length, blade width, blade depth, or handle configuration should confirm the selected variant before ordering.
The current Peak Surgicals specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finish options. These allow hospitals, surgical centers, distributors, and procurement teams to select a surface finish appropriate for their existing instrument inventory.
If a specific finish is required, the selected option should be confirmed when placing the order.
