Extra-Large Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor, 25 cm (10″) 5:6 Prongs
Features and Description:
The Extra-Large Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor is a heavy-duty instrument that surgeons use for major surgical procedures. Because it features a massive 5:6 prong configuration, it can hold back large areas of muscle and thick tissue layers. This 25 cm model provides the maximum leverage needed for deep incisions. Consequently, the surgical team can maintain a stable view of the surgical site with both hands free.
We offer this retractor in both sharp and blunt styles. Therefore, you can choose the best tip for either aggressive retraction or safe tissue handling.
Key Features and Benefits
- Maximum Grip Area: First, the five-pronged and six-pronged blades provide a wide surface area. This ensures that the instrument holds heavy tissues securely without slipping.
- Superior 25 cm Reach: Furthermore, the 10-inch length allows the surgeon to reach the deepest anatomical structures. As a result, you gain excellent exposure in complex abdominal or orthopedic cases.
- Reliable Ratchet System: Since the finger-ring handle includes a precise locking ratchet, the blades stay at the exact width you set. This provides a consistent and stable field throughout the entire procedure.
- High-Grade Construction: We manufacture every retractor from premium stainless steel. Because we use medical-grade materials, the tool resists corrosion and withstands frequent sterilization.
- Anti-Glare Finish: Additionally, we apply a satin finish to the steel. Therefore, the tool does not reflect bright surgical lights, which helps the surgeon stay focused.
Available Style Configurations
Both models share a standard length of 25 cm (10″) and the powerful 5:6 prong design.

Common Surgical Applications
Many doctors choose this extra-large Weitlaner for major operations. For example, it is a perfect choice for deep spinal surgeries and large orthopedic hip procedures. Likewise, general surgeons find it very helpful for retracted abdominal wall layers. Because the sharp prongs grip firmly into tough tissue, they are ideal for heavy muscle. Similarly, the blunt version protects sensitive vessels during vascular work.
