Langenbeck Retractor 35x15mm 21cm

Clinical Application

This Langenbeck retractor is designed for controlled, manual retraction of superficial soft tissues to expose incision edges and operative fields in shallow or confined areas. It is commonly used in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT, orthopedics for small exposures, and minor procedures where precise, low-profile retraction is required. The narrow blade profile is suitable for holding back skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia without excessive instrument bulk.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s single-ended flat blade provides a low-profile footprint that concentrates retraction over a defined area, allowing the surgeon to maintain exposure while limiting obstruction of the field. The 35 x 15 mm rectangular blade offers a balance between surface area for tissue support and a slim edge for working in tighter wound sites. At 21 cm overall length the shaft gives reach and leverage for one-handed retraction while remaining long enough for deeper superficial dissections without being cumbersome.
