Kocher Langenbeck Retractor 35x8mm, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, focal retraction of soft tissue and muscle in confined operative fields. The narrow 35 x 8 mm blade provides a small footprint for targeted exposure, making it well suited to deep or narrow wounds where precise retraction is required. Common applications include general surgical procedures and orthopedic approaches that demand focused retraction, for example posterior hip and acetabular exposure (Kocher–Langenbeck approach).

Design & Configuration

The instrument is a single-ended, hand-held retractor with a narrow, blunt blade profile. The 35 x 8 mm blade concentrates retraction force over a small area to permit controlled tissue displacement with reduced encroachment on the surgical field. An overall length of 21.5 cm offers reach into deeper cavities while maintaining tactile control and visibility for the assistant or primary surgeon. The simple geometry favors manual positioning and predictable tissue handling during both superficial and deeper dissection.
