Langenbeck Retractor 50x11mm, 22cm

Clinical Application

Provides focused, low-profile retraction for exposure of superficial wounds, incisions and shallow operative fields. The 50 x 11 mm blade is sized for narrow incisions and delicate tissue planes, making it suitable for general surgery, plastic and reconstructive procedures, otolaryngology, and small orthopedic or hand cases. Designed for use by the primary surgeon or an assistant to maintain consistent exposure while minimizing tissue compression.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended flat blade offers a broad contact surface and a low profile to maximize visibility in confined spaces. The 50 x 11 mm rectangular blade dimension balances tissue contact area with a slim footprint, helping distribute retraction force while reducing focal pressure on soft tissue. At 22 cm overall length the instrument provides reach into superficial cavities without excessive handle length that can obstruct the field. Its hand-held design preserves tactile feedback and allows rapid repositioning during procedures.
