Symmetry Surgical 66-6650 Perkins Self-Retaining Retractor

Symmetry Surgical 66-6650 Perkins Self-Retaining Retractor | 5" | 3x3 Blunt Prongs

The Symmetry Surgical 66-6650 is a precision-engineered Perkins Self-Retaining Retractor, a clinical staple for procedures requiring stable, consistent exposure in confined surgical fields. Measuring 5 inches (12.7 cm) in overall length, this compact retractor features a 3x3 blunt prong configuration, specifically designed to retract skin and subcutaneous tissue without the risk of puncturing delicate underlying structures.

By utilizing a smooth-action mechanical spreading mechanism, the 66-6650 allows the surgeon to lock the operative site open, effectively providing a "third hand" during carpal tunnel releases, trigger finger repairs, or small-joint arthrotomies.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Symmetry Surgical

• Series: Perkins

• Model / REF: 66-6650

• Product Type: Self-Retaining Retractor

• Prong Configuration: 3x3 Blunt Prongs

• Overall Length: 5 Inches (12.7 cm)

• Material: Medical-grade Stainless Steel

• Mechanism: Adjustable Screw/Ratchet Spreading System

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• "Hands-Free" Stability: The self-retaining mechanism maintains tension once set, allowing the surgical assistant to focus on instrument exchange rather than manual retraction.

• Atraumatic Blunt Prongs: The 3x3 blunt tip design provides high-surface-area contact, which prevents "cheese-wiring" through tissue and reduces the risk of accidental neurovascular injury compared to sharp-pronged alternatives.

• Compact 5-Inch Profile: Optimized for small-incision surgery (orthopedic hand/foot or pediatric procedures) where larger retractors like the Weitlaner would be too bulky or obstruct the line of sight.

• Symmetry Surgical Craftsmanship: Known for superior metallurgy, this stainless steel instrument is resistant to the corrosive effects of repeated steam sterilization, ensuring the mechanical spreader remains smooth and debris-free.

• Precise Tension Control: The manual adjustment allows the surgeon to dial in the exact amount of retraction needed, minimizing localized tissue "crush" or pressure-related ischemia.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: New – Original Manufacturer Packaging.
