V. Mueller RH1165 Peck Rake Retractor | 4-Prong Sharp | 5-3/8" | Stainless Steel

The V. Mueller RH1165 is a high-precision, rake-style manual retractor specifically designed for delicate soft tissue manipulation. Originally popularized in plastic and reconstructive surgery, the Peck Rake features four sharp prongs on a compact 8mm wide tip, providing the ideal balance of "bite" and minimal tissue trauma. This instrument is the clinical standard for retracting skin flaps, subcutaneous fat, and fascia during procedures such as rhytidectomy (facelift), blepharoplasty, or carpal tunnel release.

Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the RH1165 is balanced for a light, tactile grip, allowing the surgical assistant to provide steady, atraumatic tension without obstructing the surgeon’s view of the fine anatomical structures.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized 4-Prong "Bite": The sharp, precisely spaced prongs ensure secure engagement with the dermis or fascia, preventing the retractor from slipping—a critical safety feature when working near neurovascular bundles.

• Compact 8mm Profile: The narrow tip is engineered for small-incision surgery, providing maximum exposure while minimizing the footprint of the instrument within the surgical field.

• Superior Tactile Control: The 5-3/8" length and balanced handle weight allow for "finger-tip" control, enabling the assistant to adjust retraction tension instantly based on the surgeon’s needs.

• High-Polish Stainless Steel: Resistant to the corrosive effects of blood and repeated steam sterilization, ensuring the sharp prongs maintain their "needle-point" integrity over thousands of cycles.

• Seamless Construction: Designed without joints or hollow channels, facilitating rapid and thorough decontamination in the Sterile Processing Department (SPD).
