Langenbeck Retractor 85x15mm 21cm

Clinical Application

This handheld Langenbeck retractor is designed for controlled retraction of superficial soft tissues and wound edges. Its narrow blade profile is suited for creating a focused field of view in shallow cavities, skin and subcutaneous flaps, and small incisions. Common applications include general surgery, ENT, plastic and reconstructive procedures, dermatologic excisions, and minor orthopedic or podiatric exposures where precision rather than deep retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The single flat blade provides a low-profile contact surface that minimizes tissue compression while offering firm retraction. The 85 x 15 mm blade footprint concentrates the retraction force for targeted exposure of wound edges and small operative fields. A 21 cm overall length gives adequate reach for most superficial procedures while remaining maneuverable for the assistant or primary surgeon. Smooth, rounded blade edges reduce the risk of tissue trauma during retraction and repositioning.
