Weitlaner Retractor 3x4pr. shrap 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to maintain exposure of superficial wounds and surgical fields, this Weitlaner provides hands‑free retraction for procedures requiring stable separation of wound edges. The 3x4 sharp prong configuration is commonly used to engage fascia and tougher soft tissues where a secure hold is required—making it suitable for minor orthopedic exposures, plastic and reconstructive cases, ENT dissections, and general surgical closures.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s self‑retaining ratchet mechanism holds blades open without ongoing manual tension, freeing assistants and improving operative ergonomics. The asymmetric 3x4 prong pattern concentrates grip points to stabilize tissue planes while the sharp tips penetrate superficial layers to resist slippage. The overall 20 cm length provides a balance between reach and control for shallow to moderate depth wounds.
