Weitlaner Wullstein Self Retaining Retractor 3:3 Prong Design
Features and Description:
The Weitlaner-Wullstein Self-Retaining Retractor is a specialized instrument that surgeons use to maintain a clear view of the surgical site. This tool is a favorite in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery as well as small orthopedic procedures. Because it features a self-locking ratchet, it holds the incision open without any manual help. Consequently, the surgical team can work with both hands free and stay focused on the delicate procedure.
We offer these retractors in sharp and blunt styles across two different lengths. Therefore, you can choose the exact tool that fits your specific surgical needs.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable 3:3 Prongs: First, the three-pronged design on each side ensures a balanced and even spread. This provides a very stable grip on the tissue edges.
- Precise Tension Control: Furthermore, the finger-ring handle allows the user to adjust the spread easily. Once you reach the desired width, the ratchet locks the blades securely.
- Sharp and Blunt Options: Since we offer both sharp and blunt tips, you can retract anything from tough skin to delicate nerves and vessels safely.
- Superior Durability: We manufacture every retractor from high-grade stainless steel. As a result, the tool resists corrosion and withstands frequent sterilization.
- Non-Reflective Finish: Additionally, the satin finish prevents glare from bright operating room lights. Therefore, the surgeon can maintain a clear view of the area at all times.

Likewise, the 16.5 cm model is very helpful for deeper orthopedic work where you need a wider 75 mm spread. Because the material is medical-grade, these instruments are fully autoclavable and highly durable.
