The Adson Baby Self-Retaining Retractor is a precision surgical instrument designed for holding back tissues and organs during delicate surgical procedures. It features a joint mechanism that allows for adjustable positioning, ensuring optimal exposure of the surgical site. The retractor has 3×4 blunt prongs (three on one side, four on the other) to minimize tissue trauma while providing secure retraction. Its compact size (14 cm) makes it ideal for pediatric, plastic, and minor general surgeries where fine control is required.
