Kocher Langenbeck Retractor 80x16mm, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled soft-tissue retraction and wound exposure in a variety of operative settings. The broad 80 x 16 mm blade is suited to retracting skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and small muscle flaps in general surgery, orthopedics, plastics, and ENT procedures. Intended as a handheld instrument used by an assistant or primary surgeon to maintain exposure during dissection, hemostasis, or temporary visualization of deep structures.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended design with a broad rectangular blade distributes retraction forces over a wider surface area to reduce focal tissue pressure and improve visibility at the operative field. The 16 mm blade width accommodates confined incisions while the 80 mm blade length provides sufficient tissue engagement. A 21.5 cm overall length offers reach into shallow-to-moderate cavities without excessive shaft bulk, facilitating controlled, manual retraction in both superficial and moderately deep exposure.
