The Alm self-retaining retractor from Mosh Instruments is a compact surgical retractor with a 4×4 prong configuration and a precision ratchet lock. It holds tissue open without manual assistance, giving surgeons consistent exposure and a clear view of small, precise operative fields. It is available in 2-3/4″ (70mm) and 4″ (102mm) sizes, with sharp or blunt prongs.
The 2″ (51mm) wide working end gives balanced tissue separation, while the compact profile makes the Alm retractor ideal for plastic, hand, orthopedic, neurosurgical, spinal and general procedures. It is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance and reliable performance through repeated sterilization.
