Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is a Volkmann Retractor used for?
A: Volkmann Retractor is a hand-held rake retractor that is used to retract skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscles and tendons during surgery. It is commonly used in general surgery, orthopedic surgery and plastic surgery – especially for distal limb surgery involving small joints, the underside of the foot and the palm of the hand – to retract skin, muscles, and tendons to expose the surgical site and allow the surgeon to perform the procedure.

Q: What is the length of Grey Medical’s Volkmann Retractor?
A: Grey Medical’s Volkmann Retractor is 21.5cm (8.5 inches) long and features one to six prongs in blunt, semi-sharp and sharp options – enabling the surgeon to choose the number of prongs and tip profile that is best suited to the type of tissue and surgical procedure undertaken.

Q: How does a Fascia Retractor differ from other retractors?
A: In contrast to flat-blade retractors, the Volkmann Retractor’s hook-type head is deeply curved and includes several prongs ranging from a single prong to retract a single tendon, to six prongs to hold back large pieces of skin. Its hollow ring handle with a central ring offers a secure grip that smooth-handled instruments don’t, and its prongs are available in blunt, semi-sharp and sharp varieties for a far greater degree of flexibility across different tissue types than retractors with only one type of prong.

Q: What is the Volkmann Retractor made from?
A: The Volkmann Retractor is made from premium German stainless steel, to ensure that the instrument is resistant to corrosion, has a long lifetime, and can be sterilised in an autoclave using standard sterilisation cycles.

Q: Can the Volkmann Retractor be autoclaved?
A: Yes. The Grey Medical Volkmann Retractor is completely autoclavable and safe to use in steam sterilisation (134°C / 273°F) for multiple uses in a sterile environment.
