Kocher Langenbeck Retractor 35x15mm, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

This handheld retractor provides focused exposure of superficial tissues and wound edges where a compact, flat blade is required. Its 35 x 15 mm blade is sized for controlled retraction through small-to-medium incisions and is useful for soft-tissue management in general surgery, orthopedics, ENT, and plastic/reconstructive procedures. The slender footprint allows maintained exposure with minimal obstruction of the operative field and helps preserve visibility for delicate dissections.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's flat blade geometry delivers targeted retraction without excessive bulk. The 35 x 15 mm blade concentrates force over a small area to lift and hold soft tissue or wound edges while minimizing collateral compression. At 21.5 cm overall length the shaft provides sufficient reach for deeper superficial dissections while preserving tactile control at the handle, facilitating one-handed manipulation and rapid repositioning during procedures.
