Langenbeck Retractor 22x6mm, 21cm

Clinical Application

This handheld Langenbeck retractor is designed to provide precise, low-profile retraction of soft tissue in shallow to moderate-depth incisions. The narrow 22 x 6 mm blade offers a small footprint for exposing wound edges and focal dissection planes without excessive tissue compression, making it useful in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, ENT, and other cases requiring fine, localized exposure.

Design & Configuration

The narrow rectangular blade concentrates retraction force over a limited area to improve visualization of the operative field while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue. The single-blade, handheld configuration permits rapid placement and repositioning by the assistant or surgeon and is well suited for procedures where intermittent, manual retraction is preferred over self-retaining systems. The overall length of 21 cm provides sufficient reach for superficial and moderately deep sites while remaining maneuverable in confined operative fields.
