Weitlaner Wullstein Retractor 3x3pr. bl. 13cm

Clinical Application

This self-retaining retractor provides reliable exposure for shallow incisions and superficial soft-tissue procedures. Its 3x3 blunt prong pattern stabilizes wound edges while minimizing point trauma, making it useful for head & neck, ENT, plastic surgery, and general surgical cases where a compact, hands-free retractor is preferred. The ratchet lock maintains controlled separation of tissue, freeing an assistant for other tasks.

Design & Configuration

The three-on-three prong configuration offers symmetrical engagement on opposing wound edges for even distribution of retraction force. Blunt prongs reduce the risk of tissue perforation and are appropriate for delicate superficial layers. At 13 cm overall length, the instrument is sized for shallow cavities and procedures in confined or superficial surgical fields. The self-retaining ratchet mechanism permits incremental adjustment and sustained retraction without continuous manual tension.
