Product Overview
The Jackson Retractor is a manual, single-ended instrument characterized by its flat, right-angled blade and smooth, ergonomic handle. The #1 sizing represents the most versatile, standard-profile blade in the Jackson series. It is the primary choice for clinicians performing routine pelvic examinations, colposcopies, and minor vaginal surgeries where a “dead-lock” on the vaginal wall is required to clear the visual field.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Clearance” #1 Blade Profile: The blade is meticulously designed with a specific width and length (typically 75mm x 38mm) to provide optimal displacement of the vaginal mucosa. This ensures a clear, unobstructed corridor to the cervix for diagnostic or operative maneuvers.
-
Optimal 90° Structural Authority: The blade meets the handle at a precise right angle. This geometry allows the surgical assistant to apply steady, perpendicular traction, keeping the “beast” retractor perfectly stationary even under significant tissue tension.
-
Atraumatic “Liquid-Smooth” Edges: The entire perimeter of the blade and its distal tip are hand-polished to a rounded finish. This ensures the retractor can be maintained in position without causing mucosal tearing or excessive pressure-point trauma.
-
High-Tactile Flat Handle: Features a wide, textured handle that fits the palm with absolute stability. This design reduces hand fatigue for the assistant during long-duration procedures, ensuring the operative window never fluctuates.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. The #1 Jackson is built to maintain its rigid 90-degree alignment and mirror-smooth surface through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
