Weitlaner Retractor 3x4pr. blunt 23cm

Clinical Application

This self-retaining retractor provides hands-free exposure of wound edges and superficial soft tissue, improving visualization and access during operative procedures. It is commonly used in general surgery, orthopedics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, and other procedures that require stable retraction of small-to-moderate sized incisions or soft-tissue flaps.

Design & Configuration

The 3x4 prong configuration features three interlocking prongs on one blade and four on the opposing blade; the staggered prong count enhances engagement while spreading retraction forces across tissue. Blunt tips reduce focal trauma to wound edges compared with sharp-toothed variants. A self-retaining ratchet mechanism maintains consistent separation without manual holding, allowing surgical staff to focus on the procedure rather than continuous retraction.
