Product Overview
The Jackson Retractor #3 is a manual, single-ended instrument characterized by its extended blade length and right-angled geometry. As the larger variant in the Jackson series, the #3 blade is significantly longer than the #1, making it the primary choice for surgeons who need to reach the vaginal apex or retract redundant tissue in a deep pelvic vault. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, it provides a “dead-lock” hold on the vaginal wall, ensuring an unobstructed operative window.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Reach” #3 Blade Profile: The blade is meticulously designed with an extended length (typically 90mm to 100mm) and a width of approximately 38mm. This ensures that even in deep-vault cases, the retractor provides full-depth displacement of the vaginal mucosa.
-
Optimal 90° Structural Authority: The blade meets the handle at a precise right angle, allowing the surgical assistant to apply steady, perpendicular traction. This geometry ensures the “beast” remains perfectly stationary, preventing tissue from “rolling” back into the surgical field.
-
Atraumatic “Liquid-Smooth” Edges: The entire perimeter of the blade and the distal tip are hand-polished to a rounded, satin finish. This ensures the retractor can be maintained under high tension without causing mucosal bruising or pressure-point trauma.
-
Ergonomic Flat Handle: Features a wide, textured handle that provides maximum leverage and a non-slip grip. This design is critical for reducing assistant fatigue during long-duration reconstructions or vaginal hysterectomies.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. The #3 Jackson is built to maintain its rigid alignment and mirror-smooth surface through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
