Kim Retractor

Which Kim Retractor Do You Need?

Clinical Use of the Kim Retractor

• Angled and serrated: the 45° bend clears the arch and the serrations grip the flap without slipping.
• Handles: available on the flat handle, the ZEPF-bIONIK handle and the Z-SHAPE Relax handle.

Care and Reconditioning

Zepf surgical instruments are resharpened, re-aligned and reconditioned by our sharpening and reconditioning service when the working end dulls. Clean, disinfect and sterilize between patients.
