Final answer:

A Bennett retractor would most likely be located in an orthopedic instrument tray, as it is commonly used in orthopedic surgeries for hip and joint procedures.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Bennett retractor is an instrument used in surgical procedures. It belongs in a surgery where exposure of the operative field is necessary but needs to be done gently to avoid damaging tissue. Given the options provided:

  • A. Ob-Gyn
  • B. Orthopedic
  • C. Thoracic
  • D. Plastic

The correct answer would generally be B. Orthopedic. A Bennett retractor is often used in orthopedic surgeries, specifically for hip and joint procedures, to pull back muscles and tissues for better visibility and access to the bone structures being operated on.
