ALM Self-Retaining Retractor, 4×4 Prongs
$23.99 – $24.99Price range: $23.99 through $24.99
BusinessMed® ALM Self Retaining Retractor is a compact self-retaining skin retractor, also called an ALM retractor, with two arms of four hooked prongs each (4×4), made in 7 cm and 10 cm sizes for holding small incisions open.
- Locking screw
- Blunt or sharp prongs
- Finger-ring handles

BusinessMed® ALM Self Retaining Retractor works as a small rake retractor: with four prongs on each arm, the retraction force is spread evenly along the wound edge rather than held at one point.
Key features of the ALM retractor
- Finger-ring handles: open the arms with one hand and set the prongs precisely.
- Compact frame: fits shallow, confined fields where a larger retractor would crowd the incision.
What is an ALM retractor used for?
- Minor soft tissue surgery: holding skin and subcutaneous edges apart during excisions and small open procedures.
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery: retracting skin edges in small-incision procedures.
- Neurosurgery: superficial exposure through small incisions.
- Orthopedic and small bone surgery: retracting skin and soft tissue over small bones and joints.
- ENT and head and neck procedures: small-incision exposure.

Choosing blunt or sharp prongs
Choose blunt prongs near delicate structures such as vessels and nerves, where piercing the tissue is not wanted. Choose sharp prongs for skin and firm tissue edges, where a secure hold without slipping matters most.
Frequently asked questions
Is an ALM retractor self-retaining?
Yes. A locking screw holds the arms at the chosen spread against the tension of the wound edges, so the retractor stays open without an assistant.
