Hamra Retractor, 18cm — Overview

The Hamra Retractor (S27-142-18) is an 18cm double-ended retractor with two different blade widths — 2cm on one end and 1cm on the other — giving the surgeon two retraction options from a single instrument, named for Sam Hamra, a notable figure in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery technique.

Double-Ended Design

Rather than carrying two separate retractors for different retraction widths, the double-ended Hamra design lets the surgeon simply flip the instrument to switch between the wider 2cm blade, suited to broader soft-tissue retraction, and the narrower 1cm blade, suited to more localized or precise retraction — a practical efficiency for procedures needing both at different stages.

Clinical Use

This retractor is used in maxillofacial and facial reconstructive surgery wherever the surgeon needs flexibility between broader and finer soft-tissue retraction without switching instruments.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with smooth, atraumatic working surfaces at both blade widths.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. Routine inspection for surface damage or deformation at both ends is standard practice.
