Gelpi Perineal Retractor 18cm

Clinical Application

This self-retaining Gelpi perineal retractor is designed to provide focused lateral retraction of wound edges during perineal, urologic, gynecologic and proctologic procedures. Its single-point tip geometry creates a stable focal spread ideal for small-to-moderate incisions and superficial soft-tissue exposures, helping maintain a clear operative field while reducing the need for manual retraction.

Design & Configuration

The two-armed Gelpi pattern uses opposing single-point tips to produce a controlled lateral separation of tissues. The self-retaining mechanism holds retraction without continuous hand placement, freeing surgical assistants and improving operative ergonomics. The 18 cm overall length provides reach appropriate for perineal access and similar regional procedures while remaining compact for use in confined fields. Users should place tips carefully to avoid concentrated pressure on delicate structures.
