Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor 10.5 cm (4 1/4″) 2:3 Prongs
Features and Description:
The Weitlaner Self-Retaining Retractor is one of the most popular tools that surgeons use to hold open small surgical sites. It features a scissor-like handle with a locking ratchet that keeps the blades spread apart automatically. Because it stays in place on its own, the surgical team can work with both hands free. Consequently, this tool significantly improves efficiency during short and long procedures alike.
We offer the Weitlaner retractor in sharp, blunt, and semi-sharp styles. Therefore, you can choose the exact tip type that fits your specific patient and tissue requirements.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable Ratchet Lock: First, the finger-ring handle includes a precise ratchet mechanism. This allows the user to lock the blades at the perfect width for the incision.
- 2:3 Prong Configuration: Furthermore, the instrument features two prongs on one side and three on the other. This uneven design provides a balanced and secure grip on the wound edges.
- Three Tip Options: Since we offer sharp, blunt, and semi-sharp versions, you can safely retract everything from tough skin to delicate soft tissue.
- Compact Frame: Because the tool measures 10.5 cm (4 1/4″), it is the ideal choice for small incisions where space is very limited.
- Satin Finish: Additionally, we treat the surgical steel with a matte finish. As a result, the tool does not reflect bright lights, which helps the surgeon stay focused.

All models share a standard length of 10.5 cm (4 1/4″) and a 2:3 prong design.
