Senn-Miller Cat's Paw Retractor

Description

The Senn‑Miller (Cat’s Paw) Retractor from Multigate Medical Products is a handheld, double‑ended surgical retractor designed for gentle retraction of skin and soft tissue in small operative fields. One end features a flat, smooth Miller blade for broad, atraumatic elevation; the opposite end provides a three‑prong sharp rake (Senn/“cat’s paw”) for precise traction and exposure in confined spaces. At 16 cm overall length, it offers balanced control and visibility for superficial procedures. Supplied sterile and intended for single‑use, it supports infection control practices by eliminating reprocessing steps.
