Kocher Langenbeck Retractor 35x11mm, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

This Kocher Langenbeck pattern retractor is designed to provide controlled exposure of deep soft tissues and periosteum during open procedures. It is commonly used in orthopedic and trauma procedures—particularly posterior approaches to the hip and acetabulum—as well as general surgical cases requiring focused, hand-held retraction of wound edges or tissue planes. The compact blade footprint allows targeted retraction in confined spaces while maintaining a clear surgical field.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's single-ended, hand-held configuration gives the assistant or primary surgeon direct, tactile control over retraction force and vector. The 35 x 11 mm flat blade distributes pressure across a broader surface to reduce focal tissue compression while permitting precise elevation of soft tissue and periosteum. The 21.5 cm overall length provides reach into deeper exposures without excessive shaft bulk, facilitating access in narrow or deep operative sites.
