Alm Retractor, 4x4 Prongs, 5mm Deep

Alm Retractor, 4x4 Prongs, 5mm Deep

Working solo, or short a set of hands? The Alm Retractor holds a wound open on its own — no assistant required to keep tension steady. Its ratchet locks the two prong-tipped arms wherever the incision needs them, then releases with a light squeeze the moment you're ready to move on.

Eight Prongs, Real Grip

Arranged 4x4, the eight prongs bite into the incision edge and stay there, even as tissue tension shifts underneath. The 5mm depth keeps that bite shallow enough to avoid the structures beneath a modest incision — small excisions, biopsy sites, the kind of limited-field work where a bulkier retractor would just get in the way.

One Less Set of Hands Needed

Once the ratchet is set, it sustains constant, even tension on its own. That means full attention can go toward dissection, suturing, or hemostasis instead of manually holding tissue open — a real advantage in office-based or outpatient settings where staffing doesn't always stretch to a dedicated retraction assistant.

Built to Stay Out of the Way

Compact enough to sit comfortably in a crowded field without crowding out everything else on the tray. Facial work, periareolar incisions, anywhere every centimeter of space counts.

Forged as One Piece

Machined from a single piece of surgical steel, not assembled from separate parts. That means no loosening, no misalignment after hundreds of ratchet cycles — the grip stays consistent case after case.

A Practical Addition to Any Comprehensive Tray
