Kocher Langenbeck Retractor 70x14mm, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable soft-tissue retraction and wound exposure in open procedures where a narrow, flat blade is advantageous. The blade profile and length allow surgeons to retract muscle, fascia, and subcutaneous tissue in confined or superficial operative sites while maintaining a clear visual field. Common uses include small-incision general surgery, extremity procedures, and soft-tissue work in plastic and reconstructive cases.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 70 x 14 mm blade offers a slim footprint for insertion through limited incisions and for atraumatic distribution of retraction forces over the tissue edge. The 21.5 cm overall length provides reach and control for deeper dissection without excessive leverage at the operator's hand. The flat blade geometry delivers broad surface contact for even retraction and helps minimize focal pressure on tissues during retraction.
