What Is the Farabeuf Retractor Used For?
A Farabeuf retractor is held by an assistant to draw the edges of a shallow incision apart so the surgeon can see and work in the field. Because each instrument is double-ended, the assistant can turn it round and use the other end without reaching for a new instrument. Used as a pair, one on each side of the wound, the retractors open the field evenly.
In teaching hospitals and surgical skills labs the pair is a routine part of a basic instrument set, and trainees learn to retract with steady, gentle tension rather than force. Clean the retractors promptly after each list and store them together so a pair is never split. Institutions issuing laboratory equipment tenders in India can enter the pair as a single line item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair sold as a pair?
The Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair is always supplied as two retractors because they are normally used together, one on each side of an incision. Holding both edges back at once opens a superficial wound evenly and gives the surgeon a clear view.
How big is the Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair?
The Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair offered here is the large size, approximately 15 cm long. Each retractor is double-ended, so the assistant can switch to the other end during a procedure without changing instruments.
What is the Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair made of?
The Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair is made of austenitic steel in the non-quenched, non-magnetic condition, containing 18 to 20% chromium and 8 to 10% nickel. A retractor needs no cutting edge, so an unhardened steel of this type suits it.
Is the Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair meant for deep abdominal surgery?
The Farabeuf Retractor Double Ended Pair is intended for superficial surgery, retracting skin, fatty tissue, muscle or viscera close to the surface. For deeper abdominal fields a self-holding design, such as the Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades, is the usual choice.
