DescriptionThis object is a double-ended surgical retractor made fashioned from a metal sheet. One end is comprised of three curved prongs with pointed tips bent close to 180°. The opposite end has a longer, flat tab for manipulating less-delicate tissues during a surgical operation. A curved indent is located at the center of the object on the handle. There is very little to no corrosion visible on the object.
