Langenbeck Retractor 30x16mm, 21cm

Clinical Application

A compact, hand-held retractor used to displace soft tissues and maintain exposure in small or shallow operative fields. Its 30x16 mm blade footprint is suited for skin-edge and subcutaneous retraction, flap elevation, mucosal retraction in ENT and oral procedures, and fine exposure during plastic, dermatologic, and minor general surgical cases. The slim blade is optimized for controlled, focal retraction where larger retractors would obscure the field.

Design & Configuration

The narrow, flat blade geometry concentrates retraction force on a small area, allowing precise displacement of tissue without requiring a large insertion profile. The 21 cm overall length provides reach for deeper superficial pockets while preserving tactile feedback for manual control. The handheld format enables rapid repositioning by the assistant or primary surgeon, and the rectangular 30x16 mm blade minimizes shadowing over the operative site.
