Adson-Beckman Retractor

Self-retaining wound retractor with spring-opposed blades and a ratcheted frame.

Design​

  • Two opposing blades on a ratcheted ring
  • Spring-opposed — maintains retraction without assistant force
  • Compact profile — suitable for shallow wounds

Key Uses​

  • Scrotal exposures (IPP placement, orchiectomy, hydrocelectomy)
  • Inguinal incisions (hernia, varicocelectomy)
  • Superficial perineal wounds where full self-retaining systems are overkill
