VOLKMANN 190mm 19cm (Ref BS 14-396-01) — a standard catalogue line supplied to hospitals, distributors, and OEM partners worldwide.

Richard von Volkmann was a German surgeon who, alongside developing antiseptic technique in Germany, lent his name to the rake retractor used today across general, orthopaedic, and plastic surgery. Volkmann retractors are characterized by sharp or blunt prongs (typically 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 prongs) on a curved or straight handle. Sharp-prong variants engage and elevate skin or fascia; blunt-prong variants retract without piercing. The 2-prong sharp is standard for wound exposure during minor surgery; the 4- and 6-prong variants are used for larger incisions and orthopaedic work. Single-handed and ergonomic, letting an assistant maintain exposure for prolonged periods without fatigue.

OEM private-label production is available from 300 units per SKU, with custom laser etching for distributor codes, hospital procurement IDs, and sterilization-cycle tracking marks. Custom packaging — peel pouch, blister, fabric-wrap kits, or co-branded boxes — is configured to distributor specification. Bulk-order pricing tiers are available on request for hospital group purchasing organizations and national procurement entities.
